We asked Dr. Jenna Schwibner, "What 1️⃣ piece of equipment should every DSM practice have?"
Her answer came without hesitation: a CBCT.
Getting a cone beam makes any form of dental or sleep medicine practice immediately transferable over to sleep.
You're able to take an image of the airway as part of your routine scan — making OSA detection an implementable part of your workflow, instead of an obstacle.
Because of that, the airway issue can't be forgotten. When you show your patient your concerns with visible examples, the airway issue won't be ignored.
Dr. Schwibner called it the most helpful tool in her holistic airway practice. It could be the same for yours.
If you have more questions about how to implement CBCT imaging into your sleep consults, reach out in the comments. We'd love to help you get more patients to say "YES" to the life-saving treatment you provide.
