Additional Topics on Sleep Apnea:
Dentists play an important role in the team approach to the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
Physicians, dentists, psychologists, and respiratory therapists all pool their knowledge to treat each patient appropriately and effectively.
Dentists who are specifically trained in aspects of sleep medicine and have a command of multiple appliance modalities are of great help to physicians in treating patients with sleep disordered breathing problems.
