“This two-day multidisciplinary symposium will highlight communication and treatment options that will become the standard of care for patients suffering with sleep apnea.” Allman further states, “Dental practice today, in my opinion, requires working with a contingent of physicians and medical specialists dedicated to achieving better patient compliance with positive outcomes.”
Dr. J. Brian Allman, Diplomate, American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and Founder and Director of the Elite Dental Institute, has completed over 5,000 hours of continuing education with emphasis in TMJ disorders and Dental Sleep Medicine. “My goal is to help educate dentists to become experts in recognizing signs and symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and effectively co-managing the disease. Our medical colleagues have asked us to become part of a multidisciplinary and collaborative healthcare team and it’s time for the dental profession to step up.” says Allman.
Estimates of people affected by sleep issues are staggering and numbers of sufferers increase daily. In fact, more motor vehicle accidents are caused by drowsy drivers than drunk drivers.
