Webinar description:
A trained dental team should be screening 70% of their patients – or more – for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

For every 10 patients you see you should have 7 conversations about airway and sleep apnea. When practices use a combination of:

1. Medical history
2. Subjective feedback
3. Screening forms
4. Intra-oral signs
5. Internal marketing
6. Verbiage skills

Over 33% of patients will need a sleep test.

• How do you screen your patients?
• What verbiage helps get people to test?
• When do you refer out for a PSG?

Navigating these questions and having clear workflows will help your team create tremendous awareness in your practice.

By the end of this session, you will:

• Define the scope of screening for dental professionals and SRBDs
• Discuss key verbiage for screening SRBDs and OSA
• Identify signs of OSA for dental patients
• Explore patient communication tactics for better outcomes
