I’m excited to welcome Dr. Meghna Dassani to this week’s podcast. Dr. Meghna Dassani is an internationally educated dentist located in Houston, TX. She received her dental training from University of Mumbai in India and ran a successful practice there for 6 years before moving to the U.S.
A 2005 graduate of Boston University School of Dental Medicine, Meghna now practices full time in Houston, TX. She has a passion for providing patients with high quality oral healthcare that will benefit their overall health.
Screening and treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea is an integral part of her practice. Her goal for herself and her team is to help patients with sleep breathing disorders get the treatment they need to live healthier, happier lives.
On the podcast we discussed…
- Meghna’s story – how personal family loss kick-started her journey to helping others with sleep apnea, saving lives and patient’s overall dental health at the same time
- The definition of sleep apnea and how other dentists can incorporate this into their dental services
- Meghna’s dental solution to the medical problem of sleep apnea by fitting appliances to reposition a patient’s jaw and open their airway. They’re FDA approved for mild to moderate sleep apnea and can really change lives

- The need for everyone in the dental team being on board – from updating patient’s dental history to asking people how they’re sleeping.
- The importance of understanding how these appliances can be used against medical insurance, but how dentists need to be aware and fully understand the complex documentation involved
- Meghna’s marketing strategy – she starts within her practice as patients already know and trust her. She also uses a dedicated sleep apnea landing page on her website and promotes her services through boosting general online awareness
- How Meghna’s live seminars in Houston cover everything dentists need to implement this service in their practices and how it’s a team driven service
- Success stories from patients they’ve helped – how Meghna feels happy about how she’s changed people’s lives and helped loved ones who’ve endured the effects as well
