On this episode of "The Deep Six," Dr. Lewerenz sits down with Dr. Jeff Haddad, founder of Rochester Advanced Dentistry and the Michigan Center for TMJ and Sleep Wellness, to explore the powerful connection between oral health and full-body wellness. They uncover how jaw misalignment and sleep apnea often go undiagnosed, leading to symptoms like migraines, vertigo, fatigue, and even increased risk for heart disease and cognitive decline. Dr. Haddad explains why traditional dental training falls short and how advanced techniques and modern oral appliances offer real solutions. They discuss the importance of sleep quality, the impact of lifestyle habits like alcohol, and simple strategies that can improve breathing and recovery overnight. For patients who are tired of being told nothing is wrong, this conversation offers clarity, insight, and hope through a functional, personalized approach to dentistry and whole-person health.   Chapters 00:00 Welcome to Deep Six Podcast 00:35 Introducing Jeff Haddad 01:09 The Overlooked Importance of Oral Health 03:05 Dr. Haddad’s Journey in Dentistry 05:04 Understanding TMJ Disorders 09:22 The Connection Between TMJ and Sleep Disorders 15:01 The Hidden Dangers of Sleep Apnea 19:16 Personal Insights on Sleep Health 24:04 Life-Changing Dentistry 26:41 The Gender Gap in TMJ Diagnosis 29:01 The Muscular Side of TMJ 30:01 Rethinking Sleep Apnea Treatments 34:26 Innovative Dental Appliances 36:35 The Impact of Alcohol on Sleep Health 39:06 Mouth Taping and Sleep Hygiene 41:05 The Convenience of Home Sleep Studies 42:40 Optimizing Health for Better Living 46:01 The Overlooked Disease of Bite Issues 49:04 The Importance of Quality Sleep   Guest Links:Rochester Advanced Dentistry: https://www.rochesteradvanceddentistry.com/cosmetic-dentist/Michigan TMJ and Sleep Wellness: https://www.michigantmjandsleep.com/about/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-haddad-7569311a/   About:Dr. James Lewerenz takes a multifaceted approach to impact the lives of his patients.
