Words of Wisdom from Dr. Stephen Carstensen. Watch These 3 Informative Videos.
Dr. Carstensen is a dentist who works at our Bellevue, WA location. He was kind enough to record a few videos about his values and philosophy as a healthcare professional who specializes in helping patients breathe better. You can watch all three of his videos here. We agree with everything he says and want to add to his words of wisdom with some thoughts of our own.
- Helping your body function better is always our goal. As Dr. Carstensen says in the video about making things easier on your body, the less stress your body is under, the better it will function. If that means seeking treatment for sleep apnea, facial pain, or TMD pain, then we want to help. No one should have to live with long-term pain or sleepless nights because there are proven solutions that significantly reduce the amount of stress your body is under, which will improve your overall health now and in the future.
- Listening is the most important skill any doctor can have. As Dr. Carstensen explains, we can treat our patients so effectively because we take the time to listen to them. We want to know their concerns, their past experiences, the obstacles they’ve faced, the successes they’ve had, their current expectations, their future goals, and their ideal solutions. It’s then up to us to determine the right course of action based on that information, and we usually do.
- If you can breathe better, you will stay healthier longer. Breath is not given enough credit for how essential it is. If you have disordered breathing during sleep or your airway is underdeveloped, that life-sustaining breath is compromised. We have solutions for just about anyone to get them breathing better and on the way to better long-term health. Our solutions are truly customized for each patient to ensure that they will get the treatment that is right for their particular situation.
If you struggle with facial pain, TMJ symptoms, or any type of breathing disorder, we can help. Our doctors, including Dr. Carstensen, are here for you and will gladly listen to your concerns. It is our mission to help you breathe better, sleep sounder, and live your life without pain. For more information about the services and treatments we offer at our locations in Silverdale, Federal Way, Bellevue, and Lynnwood, WA, please contact us to request a consultation with one of our expert sleep medicine or TMJ doctors.
