Joseph Baba, DDS
Dr. Baba has been treating Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction since 1984. During his time of practice, we have come to know that there is no one type of treatment that will work for every single person. This had led him to pursue many avenues of education in the diagnosis and treatment of the temporomandibular joint. He and his team’s wide scope of education allows us to apply the treatment that is right for each person’s needs.

You will leave this course prepared to treat TMD and Sleep Disordered Breathing at a level you didn’t even know existed. No other CE program has delivered results like this one. This will be the best investment you’ve ever made in your practice.

The TMJ & Sleep Therapy mini – residency was a game changer for me in how I evaluate and treat my entire patient base. I’ve always known there was a “blind-spot” in my evaluation and management of bruxers and patients with facial pain. Dr. Olmos’ course taught me more than I could ever imagine about chronic pain, airway and breathing concerns and bruxism. Most important, the material learned is supported by an unimaginable amount of researched literature references.

We have implemented Dr. Olmos’ TMD/Sleep and Ortho protocols for almost one year now. This approach has considerably raised the precision of our diagnosis, the speed of treatment and has consistently produced predictable resolution of our patient’s conditions. Implementing Dr. Olmos’ protocols has elevated our good track record to great.
