Dental Education Corpus Christi
Leading the Way in Whole-Body Dentistry
Ever wish you could just talk to a dentist and ask them all the questions you wanted? Providing education has been important to Dr. Pitarra from the very beginning. The local expert when it comes to sleep dentistry and airway management, she regularly hosts seminars for patients and presents at many professional conferences. She says it’s just another opportunity to give back and make people’s lives better, and she loves helping patients gain peace of mind through knowledge while also empowering doctors.
American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine - Case Study
Dr. Pitarra was honored to have her clinical case report accepted for presentation at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine — the leading organization dedicated to dental sleep medicine and the role dentistry plays in treating sleep-disordered breathing, snoring, and obstructive sleep apnea.
Having a case selected for presentation is a meaningful professional achievement, as it represents peer-reviewed recognition of the clinical work being done in our practice and contributes to ongoing education and advancement within the field of airway and sleep dentistry.
This case reflects her commitment to looking beyond teeth alone — evaluating how airway development, bite relationships, and sleep health can impact overall wellness, quality of life, and long-term health outcomes for our patients.
