I’m a dentist in calallen, a neighbor and have been enjoying your podcast thoroughly.
I’ve been studying sleep as well and how it relates to the TMJ system, oral cavity and airway.
Just like you I had minimal sleep training in dental school…it was essentially a 1 hr lecture on the topic of obstructive sleep apnea but it was just the treatment!
I’ve since learned so much and would to discuss how the tongue, nose and jaws affect airway and also how chronic inflammation and periodontal disease relate to sleep and overall health.
