The Details

Course Description

This Airway Integration Masterclass is designed for dental professionals seeking a deeper understanding of whole-body health who want to truly recognize the critical role airway dysfunction has on oral-systemic health, growth and development, and long-term patient outcomes. It provides an evidence-based framework for screening, identifying, and integrating airway focused care into everyday dental practices.

Participants will develop an in-depth understanding of how airway dysfunction impacts the oral ecosystem and contributes to common clinical presentations such as chronic gingival inflammation, malocclusion, high caries rates, and impaired healing. A comprehensive review of upper airway anatomy will provide the fundamental knowledge needed to recognize subtle signs of airway dysfunction that have lasting impacts on patients throughout their lifetime.

By the end of this masterclass, participants will be equipped with a systematic approach they can use chairside within existing workflows to better identify airway dysfunction, recognize its implications on oral-systemic health patterns, communicate findings with patients, and advise patients on appropriate interventions.

Course Objectives

  • Describe the development and shifts that occur within dental biofilms and the oral ecosystem to better understand how oral dysbiosis and overall systemic health are impacted by airway dysfunction
  • Assess structures of the upper airway and orofacial complex and determine their clinical significance as indicators of dysfunctional breathing and airway restriction
  • Apply evidence-based, chairside screening and assessment techniques to appropriately identify tethered oral tissues, orofacial myofunctional disorders, and airway related risk factors during routine dental examinations
  • Integrate airway-focused protocols into existing workflows to enhance early detection and comprehensive, interdisciplinary care

Airway Integration Clinical Reference Manual™

This printed, 70-page spiral-bound manual is designed for chairside support and easier integration of the information and protocols taught in the Airway Integration Masterclass™. 

Contents:

  • Review the oral microbiome
  • Review the anatomy of the orofacial complex
  • Understand the connections between airway dysfunction and the impacts it has on all systems of the body
  • Chairside screening protocols for optimal integration
  • Script guidelines
  • Documentation guidelines
  • "30 Days to Airway Integration" Clinical Guide Workflow 
  • Intervention protocol

For optimal results, this manual is not only a source for clinicians, but can (and should) be used for patient education as well.

Important note: the Airway Integration Clinical Reference Manual™ is only available if purchased through an individual or team bundle.

I created this Airway Integration MasterclassT™  because what we are taught in dentistry is not enough.

Hi, I'm Liz!

As a mom to three children with tethered oral tissues and chronic airway dysfunction, I know firsthand how challenging it can be navigating how to properly identify and address these concerns.

It took me years of advanced education, thousands of dollars in coursework, and countless hours sifting through research to truly understand the role airway health plays in oral and systemic outcomes. And along the way, I kept asking the same question: Why isn’t this standard of care?

​​Most dental providers want to do better.

​They recognize the red flags—mouth breathing, sleep-disordered breathing, chronic inflammation, poor healing, unexplained wear—but they are not given a clear, research-supported framework for what to do next.

​Instead, airway education is often fragmented or buried behind expensive certifications that require extensive time away from practice. ​This masterclass was built to change that.​​​

​​Every concept taught in this course is rooted in current research and real-world clinical application.​​

My goal was not to overwhelm you with information, but to give you clarity through clear screening protocols, clearer patient conversations,

and a clearer understanding of how airway health fits into comprehensive, whole-body dental care.

​​I built this course so you do not have to repeat my learning curve.

​​You should not have to spend years piecing together airway education on your own to raise your standard of care.

 This masterclass is my way of shortening that path so you can confidently identify airway issues, intervene earlier, and provide care that truly supports your patients’ long-term health.

​​This is the education I wish I had earlier in my career.
