Everyone knows the sleep apnea poster child: the overweight middle-aged man who snores like a freight train and falls asleep at stoplights. But that patient is already on your radar. The patients you're missing look completely different, and they're sitting in your chair right now. Dr. Audrey Wells, triple board-certified sleep physician, has spent 15 years finding sleep apnea that's trying to hide in plain sight. In this webinar, she'll train your clinical eye to spot the atypical OSA patients, of which there are many. You will leave this webinar knowing exactly what to look for, what to ask, and how to open a conversation that changes the trajectory of a patient's health. When you hand someone the answer they've been searching for, they don't just thank you. They refer everyone they know to their savvy dentist.
