The role of the dentist in the field of sleep medicine has grown significantly over
the past few decades. This applies not only to the management of sleep disorders but
also to the screening of those patients who may be at risk of developing a sleep disorder

to a sleep physician when appropriate. Now more than ever, this requires education
in dental schools about sleep, sleep disorders, the relationship between sleep and
pain, and the management options.
