Dental professionals play a vital role in supporting healthy airways. With 26 percent of Americans affected by Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), and most unaware, the progression from normal breathing to OSA often involves disordered breathing, midface insufficiency and muscle incoordination. This course teaches participants to recognize risk factors, screen, diagnose, and collaborate in the treatment of airway and breathing disorders from infancy through adulthood. Learn early intervention, interdisciplinary care and long-term management to improve patients’ overall health and well-being.
