Dental sleep medicine

Up to half of the adult population are likely to have a snoring or sleep apnoea problem and by attending this course participants will learn how to help them. Being able to offer dental sleep medicine can give a practice a unique selling point and, because ENT physicians, respiratory physicians, and sleep physicians are looking for trained dentists to provide appliances, there's an opportunity to develop a referral practice working with medical colleagues.

This course gives a broader knowledge base than most commercial courses and the BSDSM Pre-Treatment Screening Protocol is recognised by Dental Protection Limited, the DDU and the Association of Respiratory Physiology and Technology.

The event is supported by leading sleep medicine suppliers J J Thompson, SomnoMed, ResMed, Hanham Dental Laboratory, Remote A and GDS MedTech.

Mrs A John, managing director at J J Thompson, says: "Due to the continued success and quality of the BSDSM’s introductory courses J J Thompson Ltd. is once again pleased to give its support."
