User:Herbert Blumenthal DDS

'Biographical Information:' In active practice for more than 48 years, Dr. Blumenthal has always sought out new knowledge that would help him better serve his patients. That quest has led him to study medicine, occlusion, chiropractic medicine, kinesiology, restorative dentistry, biofeedback, neurophysiology, muscle physiology, nutrition, sleep disorders ….. the list goes on and on with subjects in and outside of dentistry. He has applied this multi-disciplinary education to the diagnosis and treatment of TMD patients for more than 40 years. He has partnered with a wide range of professionals and developed a unique perspective of the interrelationship of TMD treatment as a multidisciplinary therapy involving many professionals who work in concert to best treat these very special patients.

He has directly and positively impacted the lives of countless patients with his ability to listen, observe, and understand. That number has been exponentially increased by his sharing of what he has learned over the years with other dentists as a teacher, mentor, and advisor.

The quest to be the best he could be led him to the Pankey Institute 34 years ago and started a relationship that continues today. He began to give back as a member of the visiting faculty 23 years ago and is one of the Lead Faculty for the Bite Splint and Temporomandibular Evaluation course.
