TMD & Sleep Dentist Bachelor of Health Science (Dentistry) � Latrobe University Masters of Dentistry � Latrobe University Post Graduate Diploma Dental Sleep Medicine � University of Western Australia Dr Damian Teo is a holistic dentist who has focused his practice on TMD, Bruxism and Dental Sleep Medicine. Damian has been working in the TMD and Sleep field for over 10 years and currently works in the Melbourne TMJ & Facial Pain Centre. He is passionate about looking �beyond the mouth� and treating the body as a whole. He believes dentists play an important role in being able to recognise airway/breathing issues, sleeping problems, and craniofacial pain (such as headaches, neck pain, and TMD). Damian first gained deeper knowledge and understanding of TMD, craniofacial pain, sleep medicine, and airways by completing the TMD & Sleep mini-residency program by
Dr. Steven Olmos in 2013. This led to Damian working in Darwin�s first official TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre in 2014, where he then restricted his practice to treating patients for snoring, sleep apnea, bruxism and TMD. He pursued further education in the field of sleep medicine and achieved his Post Graduate Diploma in Dental Sleep Medicine from the University of Western Australia in 2016. Knowing the value of multidisciplinary treatment, Damian has also completed courses in biochemistry, nutrition, exercise biomechanics, neurokinetic therapy, Buteyko breathing, mental health and well-being. He works closely with many different health practitioners ranging from physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, acupuncturists, speech pathologists, sleep respiratory physicians, ENTs, oral surgeons and even personal trainers.
