You screen patients every day for oral cancer, but you haven’t started screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Did you know there are 1,000x’s more patients with obstructive sleep apnea compared to annual new cases of oral cavity or oropharyngeal cancer. With an estimated 54 million patients with OSA and 80% undiagnosed, dentists are in a perfect position to help save lives by screening and encouraging patients to get diagnosed and treated. The instructor will present easy tools and workflows to implement into your practice to screen patients for OSA and tips to get your staff on board.

- Describe the benefits of screening for sleep apnea in your practice
