Program Description: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has emerged as a critical health issue that significantly affects overall well-being, gaining increased attention in recent years. While dentists are key players in screening and managing this condition, dental hygienists are equally vital in recognizing its implications and supporting treatment strategies.
In this engaging presentation by Dr. Audrey Yoon, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of SDB from an orthodontic perspective. Dr. Yoon will discuss the role of oral appliance therapy, share the latest updates, and provide clinical guidance on craniofacial growth patterns in children, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention.
You will learn about the phases of craniofacial growth and how therapeutic appliances can shape these patterns effectively. By tailoring strategies to each developmental stage, dental hygienists can enhance treatment outcomes and promote healthy craniofacial development.
Educating patients about the significance of addressing SDB and advocating for the recognition of dental professionals’ roles in this area is crucial. This presentation aims to equip dental hygienists with the knowledge and tools needed to actively contribute to the management of sleep-disordered breathing, highlighting the importance of timely intervention and interdisciplinary collaboration to improve patient health.
