Description
Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show! This week, I’m joined by Dr. Yasaman Roland, founder of the Center for Transformative Dentistry in Annapolis, MD. Dr. Roland is a pioneer in functional whole-body dentistry, helping both children and adults address issues like TMD, sleep apnea, and jaw development—not just for a better smile, but for better overall health.
