Beyond the Basics: Next Steps in Treating Sleep Apnea in Your General Practice
Erin Elliott, DDS grew up in Southern California but went away to a small NAIA school in Western New York where she played collegiate soccer and graduated summa cum laude from Houghton College. After graduating Creighton Dental School in 2003, she settled in North Idaho to begin her general dentistry career. She has a special interest in Dental Sleep Medicine. She has lectured extensively on this topic and loves to help general dentists extend this life-saving service to their patients. She is an active member of her local American Dental Association, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and is the past president and a diplomate of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy.
This course is focused on the next step in your sleep apnea therapy journey. Many clinicians understand the basics of sleep apnea, the need for screening, and functionality of oral appliances but few are fluent in the financials and the appointment-by-appointment protocols. Attendees will take a deep dive into crucial subjects such as bite taking techniques and a medical insurance overview.
