Good sleep does not start when you turn off the lights.
It can start in the dental chair.

During routine dental visits, dentists look at far more than teeth. The jaw, tongue position, airway, and signs of grinding or clenching can all offer clues about how well you are sleeping. Snoring, daytime fatigue, and worn teeth can sometimes point to sleep related breathing issues that deserve attention.

If you are not waking up rested, it may be worth mentioning it at your next dental visit. Oral health and sleep health are often more connected than people realize.

At UAB Dentistry, great care starts with learning.

Meet Baleigh Robertson, a fourth‑year dental student at UAB.

For Baleigh, patient care is about trust, compassion, and understanding the person behind the smile. One of her most meaningful moments in clinic came from helping a patient who felt self‑conscious about her smile regain confidence and see herself differently.

If you see Baleigh in clinic, you’ll meet a student who values relationships and takes pride in helping patients feel comfortable and confident in their care.

Does the phrase "root canal" make you nervous?

Here's the good news: a root canal is a way to save a tooth when the inside becomes infected - and it's often what relieves pain, not causes it.

If you've been putting off care because you're unsure or anxious, our team focuses on comfort and making sure you know what to expect every step of the way.
