MIAMI, Florida--With sleep apnea on the rise and only a handful of qualified dentists to treat the disorder, education is more necessary than ever.

Sleep Group Solutions, a leader in seminars focusing on dental sleep medicine, has announced a partnership with DentalXP, a dental education website. The unity will help serve the dental community by providing education. Education will be supported by the PACE & C.E.R.P Continuing Education Program, which will deliver CE requirements.

Through this joint venture, participants of Sleep Group Solutions two-day seminars will be granted 16 CE credits (14 lecture and two participation) through DentalXP. These exhilarated courses are designed so that the participants receive an abundance of knowledge on OSA, appliances, billing, insurance, and protocol to integrate sleep into a general dentistry practice.

“We feel this joint venture will be a great asset to our clients who will now have an opportunity to learn about DentalXP, as they’re a huge resource.” says Rani Ben-David, president of Sleep Group Solutions.

Other SGS executives, such as John Nadeau, vice president and instructor of SGS Dental Sleep Courses, are eager to begin the union.

"The first step is education, for not only the dentist but the entire dental team. Sleep Group Solutions is the largest provider of continuing education in the dental sleep medicine field, and we are pleased to be teaming with DentalXP to enhance our CE offerings and bring this service to more dentists.
