An Introduction of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) in Children to Dentists

Abstract

The incidence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children is high in Hong Kong. Dentists, especially orthodontists and pediatric dentists, play a unique role in identifying children with SDB and referring them to ENT or pediatricians. This speech will focus on how dentists can be involved in the diagnosis and treatment of SDB in children.
