“DSP is a wonderful publication that keeps dentists apprised of the latest information and news in the Sleep Medicine world. The contributors come from various backgrounds, Dentists and Sleep doctors who bring their unique backgrounds in cardiology, pediatrics, neurology, psychology as well as industry to their easy-to- read and relevant articles. In addition to providing education, DPS is deeply practical, providing tips on improving dental practice and incorporating Sleep Medicine knowledge. It even provides an opportunity for continuing educational credits!”

Dr. Lettieri

“In order to deliver a comprehensive treatment approach to sleep apnea, we must understand the numerous associated comorbid conditions, and we must appreciate the most viable and proven therapeutic alternatives. Having a periodical that includes a wide variety of topics spanning the breadth of medical and dental sleep medicine is an invaluable resource.”

Dr Alison Kole

“What I love most about Dental Sleep Practice (DSP) Magazine is its comprehensive approach to collaboration. DSP goes beyond the partnership between sleep specialists and dentists to include insights from various healthcare professionals, fostering a truly multidisciplinary approach. The magazine addresses disparities in care by highlighting the needs of underrepresented populations and advocating for more equitable treatment options. It constantly challenges traditional methods for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by showcasing the latest research and innovative therapies. Additionally, DSP offers valuable perspectives on the business aspects of sleep dentistry, providing practical advice on practice management. For me, DSP is an all-encompassing resource that supports and inspires professionals committed to advancing the field of sleep medicine and dentistry.”

Dr. Kevin Boyd

“I first became aware of Dental Sleep Practice when editor Steve Carstensen asked if he could interview me after hearing me speak at the AACP meeting in Austin in 2015. In the Winter 2016-DSP issue Steve composed a very informative article about how Dr. Janet Pannarella, my Primary Care General Practitioner (PCD-GP) partner and I had augmented my conventional Chicago Pedo practice into a Sleep and Airway health-focused office for children afflicted with non self-correcting early childhood malocclusion, or ECM (i.e., under six years old) with associated Sleep Disordered Breathing symptoms. The DSP article was entitled ‘Don’t Call it Orthodontics’ and was complementary to other articles Dr.s Mayoor Patel, Mark Cruz and others, that had all been keenly focused upon one basic principle: ‘As potentially associated negative QOL and general health co-morbidities can be devastating, please don’t wait for ECM to become more complex before initiating validated risk assessment, timely and effective orthodontic/dentofacial orthopedic treatments. Having DSP as a way to share new thinking is a valuable resource for all health care professionals.”
