Most of us became Pediatric Dentists to help kids. While removing decay and handling challenging behavior cases are noble, how does saving a child from a life of sleep disordered breathing, inflammatory illnesses and cardiac disease sound? During our time together chewing our Bourbon we will discuss:
Why do kids snore?
What maladies are tied to snoring?
How can we help?
Who else can help?
When and how do we address this in our already busy and successful dental practices?

My role as a pediatric dentist involves cultivating a dental home for all children… even the tricky little ones, anxious ones, or those with special healthcare needs. My team and I perpetuate the culture of a dental home for all children and treat every friend as if they were our own child.

In 2001, I became a board-certified pediatric dentist and was chosen in 2016 to serve as one of six Directors for the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. I have served as president of the North Carolina Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and am a member of multiple professional organizations. In 2017, I was inducted into the International College of Dentists, an honor given to a very small percentage of dentists for significant contributions to their communities and to the profession of dentistry. I enjoy teaching at UNC, where I hold an adjunct faculty position, and have served as a speaker at both national and international conferences and various venues.
This seminar will provide to the attendee with the most up-to-date information regarding two common conditions in our adolescents’ patients: Depression and Anxiety. These two conditions often are present in our patients. We need to recognize the constellation of signs and symptoms and how they impact oral health. Furthermore, the pediatric dentist can make a significant positive impact in the treatment of these patients.
After attending this lecture, the participant will be able to:
Understand the current epidemiology of anxiety and depression in children and adolescents
Learn the most updated treatment options for anxiety and depression
Learn the role of the dentist in the identification and treatment of children and adolescents with anxiety and depression
