Dr. Sylvan S. Mintz is an Orofacial Pain, TMJ and Dental Sleep Medicine specialist serving the Bethesda area for the past 17 years. After graduating from the University of Maryland as a general dentist, then serving two years in the Army with a year tour in Vietnam, he went on to become a pediatric dentist serving Southern Maryland for over 30 years. An interest in TMJ led him to obtain additional education at Rutgers Dental School and then limit his practice as a TMJ specialist. Dr. Mintz is the only dentist in MD, DC, and VA board certified by both the American Board of Orofacial Pain and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. Dr. Mintz is currently a regular consultant to the Orofacial Pain clinic at Walter Reed National Medical Center, active staff (holds an academic advisor position) at the National Children’s Hospital Sleep Center, is on the Deans faculty at the Maryland Dental School, and an assistant professor at GW Medical School in the department of Pediatrics. Dr. Mintz just published an article in “Sleep and Breathing” a 14-year case study of over 500 patients using sleep appliances. He lectures extensively.

Very Special Dentist

I can't recommend Dr. Mintz enough. He listens, he takes his time understanding, evaluating, and diagnosing your special sleep apnea and TMJ needs, and finds the perfect solution. Dr. Mintz is highly skilled and you will never find a better dentist than he for this type of specialization.

Patient, and works closely with you

Dr. Mintz is personable, caring, and genuine. Even though I've had trouble adjusting to and wearing my device, largely do to a weak jaw and loose teeth, Dr. Mintz is happy to make multiple adjustments to the device to make it fit. He couldn't be more of a gentleman, and is excellent at what he does.

Excellent TMJ Doctor

After seeing multiple TMJ doctors for jaw pain, Dr. Mintz was the first to diagnose my problem accurately. It was caused by Sleep Apnea. With his expert diagnosis and treatment, I'm on the way to healing and sleeping.
