However, you have to know how to use RSS just to stay up to date on their developing technologies, new features and interface requirements. It is a full-time job to say the least.

Dentist and Educator Dr. Michael Simmons is scheduled to speak at the California Dental Association meeting in San Francisco on September 10, 2009 on the subject of sleep disordered breathing, that ranges from snoring to severe obstructive sleep apnea. This is a hot topic for dentistry as the problem is largely unmet in the American population and dentists can have a great impact in helping manage these disorders.

Simmons will address dentists and their staff in attendance about their responsibility in the recognition and collaborative care with their patient's physician. Practitioners will be informed that many more than 40 million people in the U.S. are disturbed directly or indirectly by the effects of loud snoring and breathing lapses. Dr. Simmons will encourage and teach the dental team how to screen for these problems and will validate that more than 1 in 7 of their patients may have sleep disordered breathing. He will share the avenues dentists have to co-treat these conditions, which include customized mouthpieces, jaw surgeries and orthodontic approaches.
