NVDS CE PROGRAM – "How Sleep and Breathing Problems Are Found and What Is Done to Treat Them” with Steve Carstensen, DDS

NVDS CE PROGRAM – "How Sleep and Breathing Problems Are Found and What Is Done to Treat Them” with Steve Carstensen, DDS is organized by Northern Virginia Dental Society (NVDS) and will be held on Jun 06, 2025 at Falls Church Marriott Fairview Park, Falls Church, Virginia, United States of America.

Synopsis:
Your patients come to you for dental health care, but nothing you do as a dentist is unrelated to how they breathe. When people have troubles breathing, it affects sleep and every part of their physiology. Dentists have a specific and vital role in helping people discover, diagnose, and treat their airway / breathing problems. This talk will enable you to find those patients at risk, understand how to link your dental health findings to those breathing problems, and address total health with each patient. This approach is different for every stage of life. Everyone in the dental office will be able to engage patients at a new level.

Course Objectives:

• Know what to do when the screening shows they are at risk
• Outline treatment options for patients - from children to adults
• Link common dental problems to an underlying breathing disorder
