Everyone wants to belong somewhere — even the tongue. Dr. John Caulfield joined The ZZZ Pack to share his journey from treating teeth with neuromuscular dentistry to saving lives with sleep and airway.
Dr. Caulfield has more tools in his armamentarium than you have socks in your drawers, and one of these tools has eliminated patients' need for PAP or MAD. Pull up a chair as he drops knowledge on transpalatal expansion, nasal breathing, engaging consultations, and the benefits AND limitations of CBCT in airway analysis. Sleep tests, improving physiology and anatomy, and his own experience as a VIVOS patient. He created the time and space to discuss all this with the ZZZs.
Learn how to do more dentistry AND better dentistry by putting everything in the right place. Your restorations will last longer, your patients will live healthier lives, and you'll be on the path to creating a village of practitioners that stop building dams and start building bridges so everything downstream gets better.
