Creating Healthier Patients & Practices: Integrative Dental Medicine with Dr. Witt Wilkerson, DMD

We face a severe health crisis, that is a much larger pandemic than Covid19! The western lifestyle of poor diet, lack of exercise, excessive weight, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, stress, periodontal & periapical oral disease, breathing disordered sleep and GERD, are examples of the co-morbidities which put every one of us at risk in a viral world!

Dentistry is the medical specialty of oral medicine. Oral health is directly related to complete health: the oral systemic connection. We must ask: "How we can stand on the frontlines fighting the health crisis that is destroying our nation?" The answer is through developing a new model that integrates Dentistry & Medicine = Integrative Dental Medicine (IDM). This model must create both healthier patients and practices. Dr. Wilkerson will discuss his 10 years of research and clinical implementation, the subject of his bestselling book entitled, "The Shift, the Dramatic Movement Toward Health Centered Dentistry".
