Our profession has come a long way in providing - not only oral appliances, but in the education and awareness of the public (and with other healthcare providers too) which was long overdue. We have provided care for thousands of people who would have suffered from Snoring, OSA, bruxism and the belief that CPAP was the ONLY option.

We should be proud of what we’ve done oner the last three decades, but we have a ways to go yet! It’s not the time for resting back - now is the time to stress to our patient's and public just how inportant quality sleep really is.

We recognize that dental sleep medicine is more than just oral appliances, its an understaning of sleep and its impact on us, specifically in the dental arena, whether its sleep disordered breathing, brusixm or other aspects in which we as dentists can help our patients - and that’s a big step for any profession with its historically traditional role in healthcare.
