The goal of the medical professions is to enable conditions for healing. Dentistry has traditionally been focused on the "fix." Today, we must move from
"diagnose and treat" to
"predict and preempt".
How do we move forward?
The answer is by embracing strong collection of data for the procedures we ask patients to accept - focusing on evidence. At the continuum, speakers will summarize the current state of dental sleep medicine and emphasize the need for collaboration with physicians and others within medicine.
Registration is now OPEN
for the October 21st & 22nd session of the Step Up to Introductory and Advanced Sleep Dentistry.
