Masticatory Problems Dr. DeWitt Wilkerson on Humpday Happy Hour™
Let's talk masticatory problems with the expert himself, Dr. DeWitt Wilkerson! We learned so much and cannot wait to have him on again🎉 Dr. Wilkerson has worked for over 35 years with thousands of patients suffering from joint problems, bite problems, bruxism, headaches and sleep apnea. The majority of dentists have similar clinical concerns when diagnosing and treating masticatory problems: What is causing the problem? Is it going to break? Should I even get involved? Will I make it worse? How can I make it better? Dr. Wilkerson’s presentations help dental professionals gain the skills and understanding to become a problem solver and not a problem causer. Wilkerson lectures world-wide on the subjects of restorative dentistry, dental occlusion, temporomandibular disorders, airway/dental sleep medicine, and integrative dental medicine. He serves as a Senior Faculty/Lecturer and Director of Dental Medicine with the Dawson Academy and has provided 600+ days of lectures and hands-on instruction to over 4,000 dentists. His book, The Shift: The Dramatic Movement Toward Health-Centered Dentistry, provides a step-by-step guide to implementing complete health through dentistry. Dr. Wilkerson is Past-President of the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH) and Past-President of the American Equilibration Society (AES). Additionally, he is pleased to serve as Director of Dental Medicine at the Dawson Academy, Adjunct Professor of Graduate Studies, the University of Florida College of Dentistry, and former Associate Faculty and Special Lecturer, the L.D. Pankey Institute. ✨Helpful Links Website: https://www.wittwilkersondmd.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dewitt-wilkerson-82a9166a/ Book: https://www.wittwilkersondmd.com/book/ Timestamps: 01:01 - NEWS ON THE GO™ 11:20 - Guest Intro 14:30 - Dental career path 31:04 - Reducing inflammation 33:00 - The Shift: The Dramatic Movement Toward Health Centered Dentistry 40:30 - Dentistry as a medical specialty 46:50 - How to apply diagnostic information 📺Make sure you subscribe to catch live discussions with the DINKs every Wednesday at 8:30 EST! https://www.youtube.com/@dentistsintheknow 🌟Stay up to date on all the latest dental trends with the DINKs: https://linktr.ee/dentistsintheknow
