Dental Wellness with Dr. Doug Thompson Humpday Happy Hour™

We love chatting with practitioners who want to support the entire dental team to understand how to provide the best patient care👏 Dr. Thompson believes in an interdisciplinary treatment model that coordinates dental care with other medical practitioners to provide comprehensive total body healthcare for his patients. He employs advanced DNA bacterial testing methods and other leading-edge dental science to enable early risk assessment and personalized treatment planning. He cofounded and helped lead an interdisciplinary study club attended by more than 40 dentists, which had representation from all dental specialties and focused on comprehensive treatment planning. In 2016 Dr. Thompson founded the Wellness Dentistry Network, an internet-based community of dentists with a keen awareness of how oral conditions affect whole body health. He also assists dentists and their teams with implementation strategies designed to put knowledge to work in their daily practices. Building a knowledge base of how to integrate oral health issues with medical health issues continues to evolve. Getting started, keeping current, and growing is the challenge in this exploding area. To confront this challenge is the mission of the Wellness Dentistry Network. In addition to his dental training, Dr. Thompson is pursuing a Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine through the American Academy of Anti-Aging, Regenerative and Functional Medicine. In this continuum, he has presented to physicians the program “Periodontal Disease and the Heart: A Collaborative Opportunity” in their Fellowship module XVI-D titled, “Metabolic Cardiovascular Medicine.” ✨Helpful Links Wellness Dentistry Network Website: https://wellnessdentistrynetwork.com/ Integrative Oral Medicine: https://ioralmed.com/dr-doug/ Timestamps: 01:15 - NEWS ON THE GO™ 06:30 - Guest Intro 10:50 - Staging and Grading 17:50 - Changing the dental narrative 27:50 - Utilizing hygienist team strengths 37:50 - Wellness predictability 42:00 - How to bring wellness dentistry to your practice 50:20 - Closing 📺Make sure you subscribe to catch live discussions with the DINKs every Wednesday at 8PM EST! https://www.youtube.com/@dentistsintheknow 🌟Stay up to date on all the latest dental trends with the DINKs: https://linktr.ee/dentistsintheknow
