Meet the speaker

Chris Papoutsi 250X250 Chris Papoutsi Dental Surgeon

Chris graduated from Karolinska Institute in Stockholm Sweden in 2007. She worked in the largest private emergency dental practice, giving her a broad experience treating various dental conditions and patients with dental anxiety. After moving to the UK in 2010 she decided to pursuit and deepen her knowledge in dental sleep medicine. She has over 17 years of clinical experience in treating patients that suffer from tooth grinding and snoring, tailoring the use of nightguards and/or snoring devices with muscle relaxant treatments.

This interest has not only transpired in many happy patients she has treated over the years but she has also completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Dental Sleep Medicine (PgCert DSM), making her one of very few dentist in the UK with in depth expertise and knowledge to treat patients who suffer from snoring.

Dr Chris is a member of British Society of Dental Sleep Medicine.
