Do you recognize the signs and symptoms of airway issues in the children in your practice? This course is designed to help practitioners connect the dots from airway compromise to the everyday medical symptoms that children and parents are struggling with to the treatment options that exist to help these families. The dental team is uniquely positioned to evaluate and treat, through collaboration, children as young as 3 years old to improve their overall health, growth, and development.
Course Objectives:
- Understand the etiology of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB)/malocclusion.
- Recognize the devastating effects of underdeveloped maxillae and mandibles.
- Evaluate symptoms to help prevent/treat early craniofacial growth and development issues.
- Discuss the dental team’s role to intercept patients BEFORE they become sleep apnea patients.
