Comments from attendees:

• You will be amazed with Kent’s ability to explain and prepare you for returning home to incorporate sleep apnea treatment into your practice. Go with an open mind and be a sponge. Kent will show and tell all you need to know. Dr. SM
• Kent is the consumate teacher/mentor and after the course you will be ready to  immerse yourself to the hilt in Sleep Dentistry! Dr. MF
• Kent's course was excellent! The take home info was invaluable. If you are entertaining treating SBDs do take this course.  I now know how to read sleep studies and have a sense of who will benefit from the Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs). Dr. BS
• Taking this course may very well prolong your life (as well as the lives of your family members and patients)! Dr. TF
• What a great course!!! Kent you did an awesome job with the course and the material presented. This course confirms our role as "MOUTH DOCTORS"  as we should always be looking beyond just teeth. Everyone should RUN to sign up for this one!!!!. DR. RM

• I can't believe how many OSA patients I have NOT diagnosed because "I didn't know what to look for".  The information in the course will let me help a lot of people that would have been otherwise overlooked.  It could help me improve the quality of life in my own family. Dr. DL

• Kent Smith is not only very knowledgeable in this area, but is a very nice guy with humility and down to earth personality which made it easy to learn from him.

  I did not know much in the sleep area….until this weekend.  Take this course, next time it is offered.  This is important information, we MUST have, in my opinion.

  You may have no interest in making this a big part of your practice.  BUT…the life you save may be your own! Dr. PR

• KENT SMITH is a great speaker and illuminated the spectrum of issues with sleep disorders with clarity and completeness. The manual he provided is one of the best I have had! Dr. DC

Dr. Kent Smith is the co-founder and co-director of the Dental Organization for Sleep Apnea, is on the Medical Advisory Board of Sleep Healers® and is the course director and instructor for Sleep Breathing Disorders at LVI Global.
