Education & Practice

The American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine presents dental sleep professionals with year-round education and career development opportunities. These clinical meetings, courses, workshops and study clubs introduce leading-edge developments in the treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. AADSM members can enhance their understanding of topics ranging from patient screening to management of device side effects through discussion of relevant literature, treatment protocols and practice parameters.

The AADSM also provides dental practice management tools and reimbursement support to members as oral appliances used to treat sleep-related breathing disorders become increasingly prominent to patients and medical insurers. Practice management and promotional tools developed by the AADSM help dentists spread the word about sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy and their practice.
