Meet Dr. Roman Sadikoff

I am Dr. Roman Sadikoff, a proud 1997 graduate of University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. Following a year of residency at the Medical College of Ohio and several associateships, I established a private practice in Chesterfield, Michigan in 2003.

I am an avid believer in airway-centric dentistry and orthodontics. That means that, at the very first appointment with a new patient, whether adult or pediatric, I assess their nasal breathing. Compromised nasal breathing can lead to problems like snoring, clenching, grinding, jaw pain, headaches, and, most importantly, obstructed sleep apnea. In children, it will delay not only the skeletal but also cognitive development. Snoring, bed wetting, and ADHD-like symptoms are prevalent in children with mouth breathing, especially at night.

Your mouth is connected to your body, and therefore it should be treated as such. Identifying mouth breathing habits as early as possible in life will help prevent our patients from suffering from more complex illnesses later on. My mission is to educate adults and children alike. I spend time helping my patients decide what is right for them. My primary goal is to have my patient walk away from their dental appointment understanding not only the state of their oral health but also the state of their essential function of breathing. They will know how to help themselves and their children have a healthy, beautiful smile and a healthier and stronger body. Implementing additional services, such as myofunctional therapy, orthodontics and an anti-inflammatory diet will prevent our young patients from suffering the consequences of a sleep-related breathing disorder later in life.

In addition to general dentistry, I am addressing problems such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea and TMJ-related chronic facial pain. If undiagnosed and untreated, the consequences of these conditions will include:

Compromised growth and development in children
ADHD-like symptoms
Headaches and jaw pain
Acid reflux
High blood pressure
Obesity
Anxiety and depression
Stroke
Sudden death

Watching my own child suffer from a breathing disorder made me realize that this is something I want to be able to help him with. Close to 20 years ago, I began attending seminars to learn anything and everything related to his condition, and I’ve never stopped learning since. I was fortunate enough to meet great practitioners and mentors along the way who spent the time and energy to teach and share their information. After completing a mini-residency at the University of Tennessee on the Treatment of Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders and Craniofacial Pain, I am now dedicating a large portion of my practice to airway-focused dentistry. I am proud to represent the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centres International as one of their locations throughout the world.

Many thanks to all of my patients who put their trust in me to not only treat their teeth and gums but also their overall health.
