In 2019, Dr. Ken Berley and I wrote The Clinician\u2019s Handbook of Dental Sleep Medicine published by Quintessence.<\/p><p>Along with clinical practice, I maintain a busy teaching career, educating dentists around the world through the World Sleep Academy and the World Dentofacial Sleep Society, both parts of the World Sleep Society, as well as enjoying invitations from sleep societies in many countries. I\u2019ve lectured and led workshops at study clubs and the largest conferences in our profession. Quintessence Publishing asked for a Second Edition of The Clinician\u2019s Handbook for Dental Sleep Medicine \u2013 now available.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-278a2d4 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"278a2d4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-00472ed\" data-id=\"00472ed\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76eaf6a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"76eaf6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d3f418f elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-stretch elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d3f418f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7e87b63\" data-id=\"7e87b63\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee66860 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ee66860\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Career Accomplishments\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-360fcb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"360fcb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>My proudest career accomplishment to date is the advocacy work I did for sleep and breathing wellness which led to a new ADA policy statement in 2017.
