Airway Therapy for the Primary Care Dental Team

Featuring Dr. Steve Carstensen. Part of our 2026 Clinical Excellence Series. Enjoy free refreshments, network, and earn 2 CE!

Course Description

An overview of sleep disordered breathing and what the dental team can do about it. We start with the basics: sleep, dental appliances, and the critical role nasal function has in respiration.

We’ll discuss how to work with sleep physicians, medical insurance interaction, AND the "ABCs" of marketing. Then we go a bit beyond the basics: complications, titration and follow-up testing, and team development.
