Sleep is the cornerstone of health. ๐ค
As an Oral Physician and healthcare provider, Iโve always recognized the powerful link between oral health and whole-body wellness โ but being here at the Sleep Conference in Seattle surrounded by sleep medicine pioneers brings that truth into even sharper focus.
Iโm proud to represent the dental profession on a global stage, ensuring dentists stay on the front lines of screening and treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Sleep apnea doesnโt just cause snoring or fatigue. Itโs linked to:
๐ซ Cardiovascular disease
๐ High blood pressure
๐ฉธ Type 2 diabetes
๐ง Stroke & Alzheimerโs
๐ Depression & anxiety
โก Hormonal imbalances
๐ก๏ธ Immune dysfunction
โ Erectile dysfunction
๐ง Even delayed growth in children
Yet 80% of moderate-to-severe cases go undiagnosed.
Dentists are uniquely positioned to catch the signs early โ from airway issues to bruxism and anatomical indicators. This is about more than teeth โ itโs about saving lives, improving sleep, and optimizing longevity.
๐ก Dentulu is proud to partner with leaders in the sleep space to bridge medicine and dentistry โ because health begins with sleep, and sleep begins with a healthy airway.
