NEW MEMEBER: Kevin Postal, DDS
Director At Large- St. Louis, MO
I practiced general dentistry for 32 years. I started treating patients with sleep apnea with oral
appliances in 2007. I became a diplomate of the AADSM in 2011. I limited my practice in 2023
to only treating patients with sleep apnea and TMJ discomfort. I have been a member of the
AADSM board of directors since 2014 and I am the current president of the AADSM for 2024-
2025. I have spoken to both locally and nationally on the dentist role in treating patients with
sleep apnea.
I feel I can bring a wealth of information to this organization from the dentist role from both a
local view from a dentist who is seeing patients daily for OSA and from a national basis what is
happening with the AADSM.
My goal is to bring to the members of this organization a perspective of how all providers
including physicians, sleep techs and dentists can work together to help more patients be
treated with OSA. I not only can offer myself as a great resource because of my experience
and connections but I can also bring in speakers who will offer a new perspective to our
members.
