Researchers estimate that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) impacts around 22 million Americans, many of which remain underdiagnosed or neglected altogether. Unfortunately, many people who suffer through this condition have a dangerous misconception that their issues are not particularly life-threatening, whereas others merely do not know how to discuss the problem with a medical professional.

This point is where you, as a dentist, become essential to the diagnosis and treatment of OSA. Since most people already visit the dentist, you are in the ideal environment to observe symptoms of OSA and discuss with patients the impact of OSA and how a dental professional can help provide relief. If you do detect some concerning signs in your patient, you can then refer them to a sleep doctor for an official diagnosis. From there, you can begin a variety of treatments depending on the severity of your patient’s OSA or its source. 

Due to this new environment and condition, dentists need to receive continuing education seminars on the topic of OSA. Let’s look more into these seminars and outline why they are a crucial addition to any dental practice.
