The Troublesome Connection Between TMD and Airway
March 1 @ 11:00 am – 2:00 pm EST
Course Description
Breathing Disorders, Oral Medicine, Sleep Apnea, Sleep Disorders
When patients present to dental offices with TMD and head pain, most dentists don’t ask about other somatic pain syndromes or take a detailed history that might reveal airway problems. This lecture establishes why TMD & airway are often linked, provides tools to help manage chronic conditions and positions dentists as experts in helping patients achieve greater overall health.
“The educational teaching methodology used in this course is live, interactive lecture presented via Zoom webinar with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Both the live webinar and the PowerPoint presentation incorporate a variety of audio and visual cues to enhance audience members’ understanding and retention of key concepts. In addition, question and answer periods are provided for at the conclusion of each section of the live webinar.”
Course Objectives
At the completion of this course the participants should be able to:
- Take a more detailed patient health history and ask better questions
- Reduce the uncertainty that often surrounds diagnosing chronic pain problems
- Approach appliance therapy with greater confidence
- Recognize patient habits that contribute to chronic pain and address them
