First, breathe through your nose with Dr. Jeff Rouse (DHP165)

Dr. Jeff Rouse joins Jason and Alan to give a systematic and common sense approach to screening and treating airway problems in the dental office.

Sleep apnea. Airway disturbances. You've heard a lot about the diagnosis and treatment of these problems on this very podcast! In episode 165 Dr. Jeff Rouse makes an excellent case for why being aware of the airway has changed the way he practices dentistry. Jeff is a prosthodontist practicing in San Antonio as well as in Seattle with Dr. Frank Spear, Dr. Gregg Kinzer and Dr. Stephanie Zeller. His background is in restorative dentistry and interdisciplinary treatment planning (he wrote books on this stuff!) but he's most passionate about airway! He tells us about how he practices on a day to day basis and how he's simplified the diagnosis and treatment of airway disturbances in children and adults. We give Jeff permission to be "king of the world" to explain what the perfect treatment team would be and he lays out his simplified (and brilliant) protocol for helping patients with their airway!
