Editor in Chief, Publisher, and Senior
Strategic Advisor, MedMark Media
When I began my career as an oral medicine specialist, I quickly realized that the mouth rarely keeps its secrets. It speaks volumes; not just in symptoms, but in signs of deeper, systemic disruptions. And nowhere is that more apparent than in the realm of sleep-related breathing disorders.
As I step into the role of Editor in Chief at MedMark Media and Publisher of Dental Sleep Practice, I bring with me a deep belief that the future of healthcare lies not in further specialization or fragmentation but in bold and intentional integration. This is the work I have dedicated my career to: integrating medicine and dentistry, advancing personalized care, and reshaping the systems that too often keep our professions in parallel rather than in true collaborative partnership.
Our readers, clinicians like you, are already on the frontlines of that shift. You understand that managing sleep apnea is not just about mandibular advancement devices; it is about recognizing airway health as a cornerstone of whole-body wellness. You know that the success of our treatments not only improves sleep but improves health outcomes and saves lives.
That is why, starting now, we begin writing a new chapter in the story of Dental Sleep Practice. In the coming months, you will see exciting changes unfold: a broader editorial scope, more medically grounded insight, expanded global perspective, and yes – a new name. This transformation will not just reflect where dental sleep medicine has been; it will illuminate where it is going.
But our core mission remains unchanged: to equip and inspire a community of clinicians who are willing to think bigger, collaborate wider, and lead smarter. Together, we will explore what is next in diagnostics, therapeutics, patient engagement, precision medicine, and system-wide integration. Because the horizon is not just approaching, it is already here.
Thank you for joining us in this moment of transformation. The journey ahead is not just about airway health; it is about breathing new life into how we practice, how we learn, and how we lead.
Let us take the bold and courageous next step. Together.
