Dr. Jeremy Shulman maintains a Periodontal practice in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  He holds a Masters Degree in Periodontics, and in addition he has special interests in Sleep Apnea, TMJ Dysfunction and Craniofacial Pain problems.  After a stint in the Navy as a general dentist he earned his Masters Degree at the University of Michigan's prestigious periodontal graduate program, and while there served as an instructor for two years.

Dr. Shulman and the staff (that he refers to as "his angels") treat our patients as though they were family with promptness and comfortable one-on-one service and the same care and understanding we would want if the roles were reversed.  To provide care for patients who might fear dental treatment, Dr. Shulman offers intravenous SEDATION, and all who so desire can snooze through any procedure with no awareness or memory of the appointment.

Once initial symptoms are controlled, Dr. Shulman focuses all treatment on preventing their return by identifying and eliminating causes of the Periodontal, Sleep Apnea, and TMJ diseases.  He feels that great care must be taken in choosing the correct treatment since addressing only the symptoms may give immediate relief, but the initial problems almost always recur if the causes are still there.  He also believes that initial invasive irreversible treatment should not be undertaken without a thorough trial of all conservative modalities by an experienced, caring, and patient doctor.

 

Dr. Shulman specializes in Periodontics and is a Diplomate of the American Academy of Pain Management.  He is a member of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain, the Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, and of the American Headache Society Special Section on TMD & Orofacial Pain.  His special interests relate to Sleep Apnea, TMJ dysfunction, and Craniofacial Pain.

He has published many articles and comments in professional journals, and because of his reputation and treatment success, patients seeking Dr. Shulman's help have come from up and down the east coast and from as far as California.
