Comprehensive Treatment Seminars with Dr. Joseph Yousefian, DMD, MS
As the public's faith in expert opinion continues to grow in dentistry and medicine, there is an increased demand for specialized care in areas such as airway and sleep-related disorders. This demand is expected to persist, even in a high-inflation economy, which means that clinicians who possess the knowledge and skills to address these conditio
ns will remain in high demand.
The expanding understanding of the interplay between oral health, airway, breathing, temporomandibular joint disorders, and systemic health highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the unique role that knowledgeable dental and allied medical clinicians can play in improving patient outcomes.
One significant area of focus is pediatric sleep apnea, which has gained attention due to its negative implications on the growth and development of children. Recognizing and addressing sleep apnea in children is crucial to ensuring their overall health and well-being. Parents are increasingly willing to prioritize their children's health, and dental practitioners with expertise in this area can play a vital role in diagnosing and treating pediatric sleep apnea.
In this interdisciplinary approach, dental and allied medical clinicians can collaborate with sleep physicians to address the complex nature of airway, breathing, and sleep-related disorders. Working together can provide comprehensive interdisciplinary care and help bridge the gap between dental and medical specialties.
With that in mind, we have an educational and exciting schedule of sessions planned for our coming study club year 2023-2024.
