"The time is rapidly coming when patients will be referred to us from just about every medical specialty, and we need to know what is expected, wanted and needed by each and every one of these referring physicians.

Inspire therapy consists of a breathing sensor, a stimulation lead, and a small battery/computer.

Dentists and their staff play a vital role in the team approach to the screening and treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea - a condition that affects as many as 100 million Americans and their families. But
fewer than 10 percent of the nation's dentists incorporate advanced sleep dentistry into their general practices.
Thousands of dentists are missing an ideal opportunity to help their patients sleep better and live fuller, healthier lives, while adding an ideal revenue stream to their practices. If you have been thinking about getting into dental sleep medicine, this two-day course for dentists and staff is the right choice.
No hype. Nothing to sell you. Just an
incredible learning experience presented by one of the nation's leading sleep dentistry practitioners, Dr. James E. Metz, of The Metz Center for Advanced Sleep Dentistry.
There is No other course out there like this one!
"
You will not find a more thorough sleep medicine continuum than this anywhere! The Metz Center structures these courses for learning and interest - not to "sell". You will meet a unique group of dentists at this continuum and a core group of speakers considered to be the leaders in their area of sleep medicine."
Dr. James E. Metz
Registration closes at midnight, Tuesday, October 18, 2016
