Summary
Dr. Gerry Samson is a dual-trained pediatric/ortho legend and founder of Gnathos, a continuing education platform teaching pediatric dentists valuable orthodontic skills. He practiced for 40+ years and continues to lecture and teach at various institutions. His list of accolades is too extensive to list so just trust me on this... he knows a thing or two about occlusion and the growing dentition. I invited him to come on the podcast and talk about a controversial topic of his choice, so we settled on airway dentistry in pediatric patients. Some of the things we discuss: - Sleep disordered breathing - Should we be referring kids for tonsillectomies? - The value of a second opinion to limit liability - Communication tips for parents - Structuring relationship with pediatricians - Are we over-treating tongue and lip ties?
