Course Description: Dentistry has become more aware of breathing issues and how they relate to the hard and soft tissue damage we see daily in the office. An overview of breathing mechanics and how they relate to the patients in our dental chair will be shared, as well as breathing techniques and screening questions. Myofunctional therapy often enhances the airway, and numerous studies have shown its efficacy in assisting sleep apnea patients. A discussion of how tethered oral tissues can affect the airway and a walk-through of an objective chairside exam will be given. Be able to take your knowledge back to the office Monday morning and implement it in your exams.

Course Description: Eating disorders affect millions of people each year. Many go undiagnosed and untreated due to the shame and the secret nature of eating disorders. One misconception is that these disorders are a choice, and the patient can return to normal eating simply by will or force. Eating disorders are serious mental wellness issues requiring a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. This course will define and list different types of eating disorders and describe the physical, psychological, and oral manifestations. The dental professional is perfectly positioned to recognize and respond to patients who suffer from eating disorders. Learn oral health applications and how to approach the patient with a trauma-informed mindset.
