Your Sleep Deprived Patients: How it Affects Your Cases

Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. Today we'll be discussing sleep deprivation and how it’s impossible to be a poor sleeper and enjoy optimal health and vitality. Sixty percent of people report problems with sleep quality and quantity. The results of that are chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, stubborn fat, poor judgment, weaker immune systems, cognitive decline and memory loss. So we can all agree, our dental patients don't escape the fallout of sleep deficiency. And its important to us as health care providers to understand the dental implications of all of this. Our guest is Dr. Uche Odiatu, author of The Miracle of Health, a professional member of the American College of Sports Medicine and a practicing dentist in Toronto. He has given 500 plus lectures in various countries and has lectured at the ADA Annual session 14 times since 2006.
