This is a recorded, on-demand course.
Hygienists are often the first to see the signs of sleep-disordered breathing, but most of us never learned how to screen for it. This session covers what to look for, what falls within our role, and how to use tools like Mallampati and STOP-Bang. You'll also learn how to bring it up with patients without sounding alarming or salesy, and how to answer questions about trends like mouth taping. You'll leave with a simple approach: screen, notice, talk, refer.
