The BSocDSM will be launched at a two-day residential sleep
seminar 'An exploration of Dental Sleep Medicine and the role of the
GDP' in Oxford on Friday 29th - Saturday 30th April 2005. Details
can be found at
www.zsa.co.uk. Practitioners interested in the treatment of
anti-social snoring and OSA with dental appliances are urged to register for
what we believe should be a most informative and stimulating course.
The BSocDSM wishes to promote research on the use of oral appliances for the
treatment of sleep disordered breathing and intends to provide training and
resources for those who work directly with patients. The
BSDSM
members intend to collaborate with colleagues to learn about oral appliances and
the role they play in the recognition and treatment of sleep-related breathing
disorders. The society wishes to build bridges and form relationships with the
medical community, especially in sleep centres, and other professional groups
who play an integral part of the sleep disorders treatment and research team.
The BSocDSM intends to help educate practitioner Dentists through clinical
meetings that keep leading-edge ideas accessible and establish and maintain
appropriate treatment protocol. The
BSDSM
also intends to reach out to the community at large, working towards the
creation of a positive public awareness of sleep disorders and the role of the
Dentist in recognition and treatment of sleep breathing disorders.
If you are having sleeping disorders or sleep
problems then
you are insomniac and that needs to be cured,
how we can tell.
