In this episode of Innovators of Health, Dr. Ashley Spooner unpacks the foundations of dental sleep medicine—why sleep is a vital sign, how to spot risk beyond weight and snoring, and where oral appliance therapy fits as a patient-friendly alternative to CPAP. She shares practical protocols and lifestyle tactics that improve sleep quality, plus how photobiomodulation (red/NIR light) can support airway tissues, reduce inflammation, and extend results from clinic to home. The discussion focuses on awareness, measurable outcomes, and step-by-step adoption for clinicians.

Takeaways

• 😴 Sleep = vital sign: Poor sleep drives systemic risk; screen beyond BMI and snoring.
• 🦷 Appliances that patients use: Oral appliance therapy can be an effective CPAP alternative for many.
• 🔦 Adjunct tech: Laser and photobiomodulation may support airway function, healing, and sleep quality.
• 🏠 Clinic → home: Simple at-home PBM routines can extend treatment gains and adherence.
• 🧠 Educate & empower: Raise sleep-disorder awareness and set clear expectations for therapy.
• 🥗 Lifestyle levers: Caffeine timing, late-night eating, and habits meaningfully impact sleep.
• 📊 Measure what matters: Track sleep patterns to personalize care and refine protocols.

In this Innovators of Health episode, Dr. Luke Bauserman talks with Dr. Michael Goldberg about how he evaluates new tech—then shows where photobiomodulation (red/NIR light) earns its place in dentistry. From TMJ and oral-appliance workflows to pre/post-procedure recovery and clinic→home protocols, he shares practical ways PBM improves pain, function, and adherence—without turning clinicians into salespeople. You’ll hear how to pilot safely, measure outcomes, train staff, and add PBM as a patient-first, evidence-guided adjunct.

Key Takeaways

• 🧪 Evidence first: Pilot PBM with clear dosing and simple metrics before broad rollout.
• 🔴 Real chairside wins: Short red/NIR sessions reduce TMJ pain and improve function pre/post care.
• 🦷 Dental fit: PBM layers easily with oral appliances, myo work, and routine procedures.
• 🧰 Doctor > salesperson: Lead with outcomes and education, not hype or pressure.
• 📈 Keep what works: Continue (and scale) only when patients report meaningful improvements.
• 🏠 Clinic → home: Simple take-home routines boost adherence and extend results.
