Description.

Imagine transforming lives not just by day, but also through the silent realms of sleep. This is the promise of dental sleep medicine, a fascinating field where each breath counts, and every restful night adds to life’s vitality. Our course is your gateway to mastering this critical discipline, designed for dental professionals eager to expand their horizons from the oral cavity to the intricacies of sleep.

Millions lie awake, wrestling with sleep apnea—a silent epidemic that stifles breath and disrupts dreams. In the U.S. alone, about 22 million people suffer from sleep apnea, with a staggering 80% of moderate and severe cases going undiagnosed. This gap in care presents a unique opportunity for dentists to step into a role that bridges the gap between dental health and comprehensive well-being.

Whether you are taking your first steps into this field or seeking to refine your expertise, our course offers a blend of foundational knowledge and advanced practice. You will dive hands-on into the world of dental sleep medicine, learning to perform specialized examinations, take precise protrusive bites for sleep appliances, and fit these life-altering devices on one another.

Join us in Portland for two sessions as we explore the depths of night, where each intervention can lead to a morning filled with vitality. This is more than just continuing education—it’s a call to action, a chance to enhance lives when the lights go out. Let’s breathe new life into the world of dental care, one night at a time.

Ben-Pat Institute is taking a new approach to providing continuing dental education to dentists and their teams across the country.
