Dentists may soon screen kids for sleep apnea during routine checkups
NCT ID NCT07581938
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple questionnaire given during a dental visit can identify children aged 8-13 who are at risk for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), including obstructive sleep apnea. Kids will be grouped as low- or high-risk based on the questionnaire, then wear a home sleep monitor to check their actual breathing during sleep. The goal is to see if dental offices can become a practical place for early SDB screening.
