Dentists are the perfect screeners for sleep apnea risk in our society. Dentists are already looking into the mouths of millions of Americans every year. It's just a short step to put the observed oral anatomy together with a couple of questions to assess that dental patient's risk of obstructive sleep apnea. I don't believe any other profession is in such an advantageous position to screen for a common and under-diagnosed health condition as are dentists. http://ift.tt/1VMjaZw
