35% of the individuals present at the October 2016 Step Up to Sleep Dentistry Continuum were First Time participants!

"To start down the path of properly diagnosing
& treating my patients."  
"I decided to attend because Dr. Robin Jungblut recommended the course"
"I am struggling!"



 



"Need to expand knowledge in understanding sleep - and I learned a lot!"
"Dr. Metz' continuum has a very good reputation! 
And the course delivers!"
"Networking - this is a tight, helpful community of experts whose goal is saving patient lives."
News Flash: A First for Dentistry!
The American Thoracic Society has accepted my proposal for a Post Graduate course relating to oral appliance therapy . The course is all-day Friday, May 19, 2017 and the Dental Interest Group will meet on Sunday, May 21, 2017 during the 2017 conference in Washington, DC.

Competency Course that addresses
