Utilizing Airway Neurology to Improve Treatment Outcomes for the Entire Dental Team

This educational and experiential program introduces the dental team to practical airway and cranial nerve neurology techniques that enhance patient comfort, cooperation, and clinical outcomes. By improving nasal breathing, salivary flow, and neurologic relaxation, the entire dental team—dentist, hygienist, assistant, and front office—can work more efficiently while increasing case acceptance and overall practice success.
The course is delivered in a lecture-workshop format, emphasizing hands-on experience so participants can immediately apply the techniques in daily practice.

Learning Objectives:
- Explain how airway and cranial nerve neurology influence breathing, gag reflex, salivary flow, and patient comfort during dental treatment.
- Demonstrate practical techniques that improve nasal breathing and neurologic relaxation to enhance clinical efficiency, healing, and diagnostic accuracy.
- Apply airway neurology strategies to improve patient communication, treatment acceptance, and overall practice outcomes across all roles of the dental team.

Her core competencies include Restorative Breathing, Restorative Sleep, CranioFacial Homeostasis, Neuro Ergonomics, Ergonomic Stabilization, Orofacial Myology, Posture Restoration, Sleep Hygiene, and Sleep Support. Lois is passionate about educating both individuals and medical professionals on the critical importance of the cranial nerve system in supporting optimal brain-body function through autonomic and oxygen-based breathing. She emphasizes empowering people to influence their own physiology through proper airway design and breathing practices. She is also the author of the best-selling book “Winning at the Game of Health.” Since 1986, Lois has educated diverse populations, including physicians, dentists, psychologists, physical therapists, dental hygienists, myofunctional and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, exercise physiologists, personal trainers, Olympic hopefuls, educators, and parents.
