Deborah Romack
Deborah Romack is the co-owner and Dentist of Weatherford Cosmetic and Family Dentistry .

I do all forms of general dentistry including root canals , fillings , crowns , implants , dentures , etc … My main focus is collaborating with physicians to treat patients with obstructive sleep apnea by offering them oral appliance therapy . I also offer “ Airway Friendly ” orthodontics for children ( ages 6 +) and adults . This includes traditional braces as well as Invisalign .

PCT : What is your back up job if you weren ’ t in this business ? DR : My back up profession would be teaching at the high school or college level . If I go all the way back to when I was attending college , my back up profession would have been to become a pilot in the Navy and fly for the Blue Angels !

PCT : What have you learned in pursuing your field ? DR : I have learned and continue to learn many different aspects of my profession . Dentistry is no longer the “ drill and fill ” profession it used to be . I am very active in continuing education classes that have to do with obstructive sleep apnea in children and adults , and am also involved with Phase I and Phase II orthodontics for children , and adults to give them that broad beau-
