We kicked off our Latin American symposium series: “Caring for Sleep” – Managing Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders, with the first edition held in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico.

This event marked a key moment in the expansion of Dental Sleep Medicine in our region, featuring a program specially designed for dentists interested in the clinical approach to sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, snoring, and sleep bruxism.

We were honored to welcome a distinguished group of speakers who brought clinical depth and interdisciplinary insight to the program:

  • Dr. Alma Luna Mata, BDS, MS (Mexico) – Orthodontist and dentofacial orthopedist, specialist in pediatric dental sleep medicine and multidisciplinary interventions.
  • Dr. Nayeli Díaz, MD (Mexico) – Medical doctor contributing key perspectives on medical-dental collaboration in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
  • Dr. Leopoldo Correa, BDS, MS (USA/México) – Director of Orofacial Sleep Consortium – Global, internationally recognized educator in Dental Sleep Medicine.
  • Dr. Fernando Ceballos, MD (Guatemala) – Neurologist and expert in sleep medicine, known for his regional leadership in promoting sleep health awareness and education.

Throughout the day, attendees explored practical tools, clinical assessment protocols, and interdisciplinary treatment strategies, all within a dynamic and collaborative environment that encouraged learning and dialogue across disciplines.

🎯 This was just the first stop in a series that will travel across Latin America, bringing knowledge, community, and a new vision of the dentist’s role in sleep health.

Thank you to all attendees, organizers, and partners who made it possible.

📩 Stay tuned for upcoming dates in other countries across the region.
