Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other common sleep disorders affect millions of Canadians every year. When undiagnosed and untreated, these disorders can negatively impact daytime functionality, reduce quality of life, and lead to many long-term health issues.
In this CDA Oasis discussion, Dr. Stephen Bray, a general dentist from Kelowna, B.C., and diplomate at the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, outlines the role dentists can play in the diagnosis of sleep disorders and walks through the screening process for a general dental practice.
