Creating Healthier Patients & Practices: Integrative Dental Medicine

Dr. DeWitt Wilkerson

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 best selling book entitled, "The Shift, the Dramatic Movement Toward Health Centered Dentistry".
