New West Dental Ceramics is proud to offer clinicians a new dental education resource: the “Dental Compass” blog. “Dental Compass” is designed to inform dentists how they can better treat patients who present with symptoms they see on a daily basis, including crack lines, edged teeth, abfractions and scalloped tongues, which may be signs of a sleep-related breathing disorder.

With the addition of sleep appliances and migraine prevention appliances now available to prescribe through New West, this blog will focus on dental sleep and migraine therapy resources for all dentists, including those who may have reservations about adding sleep or migraine prevention appliances to their practice, are considering adding them, or are already offering them to their patients.

“Initially, I was extremely hesitant to offer dental sleep medicine to my practice,” said Dr. Mark Collins, a dental sleep specialist in Fort Mohave, Arizona. “There were so many conflicting messages in dental sleep education that I didn’t know what resources I could actually trust. That’s why I’m thrilled that New West is jumping into the world of sleep with ‘Dental Compass.’ A trusted source of practical, helpful information is vital to dentists who are involved in dental sleep medicine.”
