Pediatric Sleep Dentistry

Pediatric Sleep Dentistry: Early Detection and Clinical Diagnosis

A 4-hour course taught by Dr. Claudia Restrepo Serna, designed for pediatric dentists and dentists who want to understand how childhood sleep disorders manifest in the dental office and what clinical tools allow them to be identified before they lead to more serious consequences.

Childhood sleep is a direct reflection of neurodevelopment, orofacial function, and respiratory health. Many of its signs are subtle and go unnoticed. In this course, you will learn to recognize them, interpret them, and act with greater precision, integrating a sleep-focused perspective into your daily evaluation.

In this course, you will learn to

• Identify early signs of sleep disorders visible in the mouth, face, and function.
• Recognize patterns that often go unnoticed: breathing, tone, oral incompetence, childhood bruxism, awakenings, and irritability.
• Relate sleep, neurodevelopment, and orofacial function with updated evidence.
• Improve detection and clinical diagnosis from the dental office.
• Understand when to refer and how to work with pediatricians, physical therapists, and sleep specialists.
• Incorporate sleep analysis as part of your daily practice.
