The connection between sleep, breathing, and brain health deserves more attention. 🧠

Dr. Michael Gelb is joining Lisa Feiner and Sharp Again for “The Hidden Story: How Sleep and Breathing Impact an Aging Brain.”

Quality sleep and healthy breathing play an essential role in cognitive function, memory, and overall brain health. As we age, understanding these connections becomes increasingly important, especially as research continues to explore the relationship between sleep-disordered breathing and cognitive decline.

At The Gelb Center, we recognize that airway health and restorative sleep are about much more than feeling rested. They're important components of long-term health, cognitive wellness, and quality of life.

Your teeth and jaw joints are designed to work together.

The way your teeth come together can influence where the jaw sits within the TMJ. When the bite supports a stable jaw position and appropriate joint space, the joint can function more smoothly and with less stress.

Clicking and popping can be signs that the jaw joint isn’t moving as ideally as it should. At The Gelb Center, we look at the relationship between the teeth, bite, and TMJ to understand what may be contributing to these sounds and work toward healthier, more stable jaw function.

Just because your jaw doesn’t hurt doesn’t mean a persistent click should be ignored.

Clicking or popping can be a sign that the TMJ isn’t moving as smoothly as it should. Understanding what’s happening within the joint early can help provide a clearer picture of your jaw function before other symptoms develop.

At The Gelb Center, we look beyond pain alone to evaluate how the jaw joint is positioned and functioning.

Dental health doesn’t exist in isolation.

This Dental Hygiene Month, we’re looking beyond the teeth and gums. The mouth, jaw, airway, breathing, and sleep are all interconnected, and understanding how these systems function together can provide a more complete picture of a patient’s health.

At The Gelb Center, we believe oral health is about more than a healthy smile. It’s about understanding the whole system.

Quality sleep plays an important role in a child’s developing brain.

Sleep-disordered breathing can disrupt restorative sleep and has been associated with challenges involving attention, behavior, learning, and cognitive development. Research has also explored measurable differences in cognitive performance among children with obstructive sleep apnea.

When a child snores regularly, struggles with restless sleep, or experiences breathing disruptions at night, it’s important to look beyond the behavior we see during the day and consider what may be happening during sleep.

If you’re noticing these signs in your child, the next step is a comprehensive evaluation of their sleep, breathing, airway, and development to better understand what may be contributing.

October is ADHD Awareness Month, an opportunity to look at the bigger picture when it comes to a child’s health and development.

Sleep and breathing issues can sometimes contribute to symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, restlessness, and daytime fatigue. That’s why evaluating sleep quality and airway health can be an important part of a comprehensive approach to a child’s well-being.

At The Gelb Center, we advocate for early evaluation and asking the right questions about sleep, breathing, and development.

Did you know the modern human face has changed dramatically over time?

Compared to our ancestors, many people today have longer, narrower faces and less room for the teeth to develop naturally. This reduction in jaw development can contribute to crowded teeth and may also influence the size and function of the airway.

At The Gelb Center, we look beyond crooked teeth alone. We evaluate how facial development, jaw position, and airway health work together because these structures are closely connected. Understanding the bigger picture allows us to identify the root cause of many TMJ, sleep, and airway-related concerns and create treatment plans that support both function and long-term health.

🎉 Dr. Michael Gelb is joining the Airway Palooza stage.

Airway Palooza is bringing together the voices, educators, and clinical leaders helping move this field forward.

Dr. Gelb takes the stage for:

"The Daily Grind: TMD & The Airway Link"

This conversation brings attention to the relationship between TMD, airway health, sleep, breathing, and the daily symptoms patients often present with before anyone connects the dots.

TMD.
Airway.
Sleep.
Pain patterns.
Whole-patient care.

Dr. Gelb will explore how providers can better recognize the airway connection in patients with TMD, and why looking beyond the bite can change the way we understand diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term outcomes.

These are the leaders helping carry the airway movement forward.

If you are ready to think bigger, sharpen your multidisciplinary clinical lens, and learn alongside the people shaping what comes next in airway health, this is where you need to be.
