Explore how dentistry can address today’s biggest health challenges through the emerging model of Integrative Dental Medicine. This in-person workshop combines AI, biohacking, and medical insight to help you deliver better patient outcomes—and build a more profitable, future-ready practice.
We face a severe health crisis — far greater than COVID-19 — driven by lifestyle-related conditions like periodontal and periapical disease, sleep-disordered breathing, GERD, malocclusion, bruxism, poor diet, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and stress. These comorbidities increase vulnerability in a viral world.
Dentistry is the medical specialty of oral medicine, directly linked to systemic health. The question becomes: how can dentists lead the charge in reversing this crisis?
The answer: Integrative Dental Medicine (IDM) — a new model that blends dentistry with medicine. Using AI and medical biohacking, this approach creates healthier patients and more profitable practices.
Dr. Witt Wilkerson, author of The Shift: The Dramatic Movement Toward Health-Centered Dentistry, shares 12 years of research and clinical insights. Joining him is Lora Hooper, RDH, who brings 20+ years of experience in salivary testing, non-surgical perio therapy, and cardiovascular health.
Together, they will guide participants into the future of dentistry as a frontline medical specialty.
