(14min) People fear public speaking more than death. “This means to the average person who has to be at a funeral, you’d rather be in the casket than doing the eulogy,” noted TV comedian Jerry Seinfeld. If you’ve made the leap to promote your practice through online video, there’s far less pressure than giving a eulogy.

(31min) As a teaser to her lectures and workshop on Oct 5 and Oct 6, 2018 at the Arizona Dental Association (Scottsdale), Dr. Batoon shares insights on how to incorporate sleep medicine into your dental practice; is there one appliance that works for most sleep disorders; should you just treat patients for snoring; how to accurately give a patient exam for sleeping issues; building relationships with the medical community; what mistakes to avoid when treating a patient for sleep issues; and where sleep medicine is headed.
