Dr. Mogell Has Been Awarded for Sleep Apnea Treatment in Jupiter!

We are proud to announce that our own Dr. Kenneth Mogell has been awarded the designation of Diplomate by the American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine for his outstanding sleep apnea treatment in Jupiter. How did he earn this award? What does this mean for his patients? Today, we’re going to answer these questions and let you know why this is such excellent news.

What is the American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine?

In order to understand this award better, it would probably be good to know more about who is giving it! The American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine (ABCDSM) is, according to their website:

“…an independent, non-profit certifying board. Our sole purpose is to identify, guide, and examine candidates… so that they may… promote the high standard of excellence required to enable patients to enjoy the benefits of recuperative sleep.”

Basically, their goal is to help sleep dentists like Dr. Mogell become the best they can be and recognize them when they have achieved a particularly high level of expertise in the field.

How Did Dr. Mogell Earn This Award?

Becoming a Diplomate in any professional dental organization is not an easy task, otherwise it wouldn’t mean anything! In general, it means that a doctor has distinguished themselves from the rest, and that they have taken the time to expand and refine their skillset so that they can provide the highest quality of care possible. In the case of the ABCDSM, it means that Dr. Mogell has gone above and beyond to help people suffering from sleep apnea.

In order to earn this award, he needed to do 3 distinct things:

1. Complete a large amount of continuing education to enhance his skills
2. Remain in good standing with the ABCDSM.
3. Pass an intense written examination to demonstrate his knowledge.

Number 1 means that Dr. Mogell has taken hundreds of hours of extra training and education in order to learn more about treating sleep apnea, which is way more than what state law requires (each state typically has a minimum amount of hours a doctor has to take in order to stay certified).

Number 2 simply means that Dr. Mogell has an outstanding reputation both with the ABCDSM and his peers in general. This acknowledges that he is a trustworthy, competent, and caring doctor.

Number 3 is probably the easiest to understand. This test is very comprehensive, and it covers topics such as sleep cycles, cranial anatomy, and treatments for sleep apnea. If you’d like to see how hard this exam is for yourself, you can try out a few sample questions right here!
