HST: BRIDGING THE GAP OR
FURTHERING THE DIVIDE?
last issue
I of n the the Dental
Sleep
Medicine Insider, we
were provided with
some views from the
field as several Dental
Sleep Medicine (DSM)
professionals shared
their insights into the
role of HST in DSM.
Multiple insiders shared
their positions including
President of the AADSM,
Nancy Addy, DDS, Richard
Bonato, CEO of Braebon
Medical, Kent Smith, DDS,
John Tucker, DMD, Barry
Glassman, DMD and
more.
Alongside Medicare’s
“Same and Similar”
decision, HST is probably
DSM’s most pressing
issue. This issue’s ability
to impact a practice,
access to care, and the
future of the profession
is very real. Is dentistry’s
involvement bridging the
dental-medical divide
increasing a multi-
disciplinary approach
to comprehensive care
or is it creating a more
fractious relationship in
the field?
Please read critically,
ruminate on the varying
views, and share your
own insights on the
topic.
I look forward to hearing
from you. BATTER UP!
