Our experi- enced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a com- fortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our office. Patricia Swaintek-Lamb D.M.D., (“Dr. Patti” as her patients affec- tionately call her), has been prac- ticing in Bernardsville, since 1995. With Dr. Patti, you can expect superior quality and thorough care in a relaxed atmosphere every time you visit. You’ll quickly discover that you’ve found a unique dentist that strives to provide her patients with friendly, gentle, and techno- logically advanced care. Dr. Patti values her patient’s overall health above all else. Dr. Patti understands that while everyone loves a beautiful smile, patients benefit the most when you give them the tools to live healthier lives. For example, The American Dental Association (ADA) states “dentists should be screening their patients for sleep apnea and should be the professionals who make oral appliances.” In October 2017, the ADA adopted a policy on den- tistry's role in treating sleep-breath- ing disorders including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Dr. Patti began her airway centric education over 15 years ago and made her first oral sleep appliance in 2005. In fact, when it comes to TMJ and sleep apnea, Dr. Patti strives to help her patients live independent lives from medications and “band-aid” fixes. She regularly attends cutting- edge courses that further advance her cosmetic, neuromuscular and airway focused dentistry. Most people think of sleep disor- dered breathing as an adult issue. Dr. Patti strives to educate parents on the role the jaw plays with air- way among children as well. Among the issues that can accom- pany a narrowed airway are snor- ing, dizziness, ADHD and sleep apnea. Improper jaw alignment can also lead to TMJ disorders like facial pain or tenderness, difficulty chew- ing and chronic headaches. Dr. Patti is passionate about early inter- vention to identify potential prob- lems in your child’s teeth and jaw before they arise. Seeing a child every six months for an exam and hygiene visit will set young patients on a healthy course and hopefully avoid problems such as decay, air- way and jaw issues. Whether you are looking for a movie star smile, an improvement to your overall health and wellness or both, Dr. Patti and her team at Aesthetic Dentistry of Bernardsville can help you achieve your goals.
