DENTISTRY’S ROLE IN COMPLETE HEALTH CARE
We live in a viral and dangerous world! Despite being the most advanced nation in history, we continue to struggle with chronic health issues such as cardiovascular disease,
diabetes and Alzheimer’s. But what does that have to do with dentistry? Everything! More than ever, we are learning that oral health is critical to complete health.
Dentistry is the specialty of oral medicine. The mouth is the gateway to the whole body, and we are the gatekeepers of the gateway.
In this presentation, Dr. Wilkerson will review what we are learning about the oral-systemic connection and steps we can take to proactively engage in a more comprehensive
level of care for ourselves, our families, our patients and our country. Dentistry should and can be the most highly respected “specialty” in all of health care!

- Each attendee will be provided the “IDM Checklist” to assist in patient care.
- Each attendee will be able to describe the 3 pillars of Integrative Dental Medicine (IDM).
