Sleep Matters Podcast
Sleep Matters is a mocktail of snarky honesty and straight talk in dental sleep medicine you’ve been looking for. We jump on the grenades most professionals avoid, from medical and dental turf wars and insurance headaches to calling out the latest industry “snake oil.” Sit down with movers, shakers, and iconoclasts as we dive into the clinical and political issues that keep dentists up at night. You’ll learn. You’ll laugh. And you’ll actually look forward to the next episode. SLEEP MATTERS
