Dental Sleep Medicine Speaker
Michael Cowen
Dental Sleep Medicine Speaker, Strategist and Founder of Awaken2Sleep
Michael Cowen helps dental professionals move beyond learning about dental sleep medicine and build the systems, teams, and workflows required to implement it successfully.
Helping Dental Practices Turn Sleep Knowledge Into Action
Michael Cowen began his career in sleep medicine in 2003 as a pediatric sleep technician at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital in Southern California.
Several years later, that training became deeply personal when it helped Michael recognize that his infant daughter was experiencing signs of obstructive sleep apnea. The experience strengthened his commitment to helping more patients receive the care they need.
Over the next decade, Michael worked throughout the sleep medicine field—supporting physicians, developing sleep centers, working with CPAP technology, and advancing home sleep testing.
In 2015, he founded Awaken2Sleep to help dental practices build practical, sustainable dental sleep medicine programs. Today, Michael works with growth-minded dentists and their teams to strengthen implementation, improve team execution, and create DSM systems that do not depend entirely on the doctor.
Speaking That Moves Practices Forward
Michael brings a practical, implementation-focused perspective to every presentation. His sessions help dental professionals understand not only what is possible in dental sleep medicine, but what must happen inside the practice to make it work consistently.
Practical Sessions for DSM Growth
Topics can be customized for dental conferences, study clubs, private practices, dental groups and industry organizations.
Bring a Clear DSM Implementation Voice to Your Audience
Whether you are planning a live conference, a virtual session or a private team training, Michael can tailor the conversation to your audience’s experience, challenges and goals.
