“Why do I do this? Because it saves people’s lives.” ~Dr. Bruce B. Baird
This is serious. It saves lives.
As a clinical dentist, I’ve always been driven to educate myself so I can give my patients the best possible care but physiological risk – aka sleep apnea – is especially close to my heart because of my personal experience with it.
I’d been struggling for years with my weight, my focus, and my energy levels. I was even falling asleep in front of patients but everything really came to a head when I fell asleep while driving and ran off the road.
Today I would like to encourage you to do two things: first, incorporate sleep apnea screening into your treatment plan process so you can better serve your patients, and second tune in to today’s episode where I share:
- My personal sleep apnea journey
- Thoughts on oral appliances and CPAPs
- The difference proper physiologic risk factor care can make in kids (and adults)
