LightScalpel

Women with sleep-disordered breathing are often told they are “fine” before anyone asks the right questions about sleep.

In this episode of Talk The Talk, Toni-Ann Antoniato, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC, interviews Kristen Geist, DDS, about why women’s sleep apnea can go undiagnosed, how airway-focused providers can think beyond “classic” symptoms, and where soft palate evaluation fits into a broader treatment conversation.

Dr. Geist also discusses LightScalpel soft palate treatment, a non-ablative approach that may help selected patients when the soft palate contributes to snoring or airway concerns.

This is a valuable clinician-to-clinician conversation for dentists, myofunctional therapists, SLPs, and other airway-focused providers.
