WHat is Dental sleep medicine?
Dental sleep medicine is an extension of general dentistry with a specific concentration on providing treatment for adult patients who have been diagnosed with sleep-disordered breathing, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), snoring and sleep-related bruxism. Dentists who wish to extend their practice to include dental sleep medicine must be committed to advancing their knowledge, technical expertise, and clinical skills in the specific areas of OSA, snoring and sleep-related bruxism. Dentists who hold the designation of “Qualified Dentist” or “Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine” are deemed qualified to screen for OSA, snoring and sleep-related bruxism; obtain a detailed medical history; conduct a physical examination; and treat, educate, and provide long-term management of patients who are diagnosed by a physician with either OSA, snoring or sleep-related bruxism.
