Out of Breath

More than 30 million Americans suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, a dangerous and deadly disease that the healthcare community is struggling to put a dent in. We have effective treatments, namely CPAP and oral appliance therapy, but the industry is in the throws of a controversy that’s pitting dentists against physicians, device manufacturers against each other, and has left many with questions about the scope of practice, who can practice dental sleep medicine, and what the future of medico-dental collaboration looks like. Join Madan Kandula, MD, and Jason Tierney for unfiltered conversations about what’s working in sleep medicine collaborations, what isn’t, and what a brighter future will look like.
