Build Your Practice With a Wellness Approach

Episode #212 with Dr. Doug Thompson

Dentistry is changing and evolving and the opportunities for young dentists are endless. When just starting out, it’s good to be able to differentiate yourself. Today’s incredible expert is Doug Thompson. Doug’s practice is called Integrative Oral Medicine. It’s an interdisciplinary treatment model that coordinates dental care with other medical practitioners for total body health care for his patients. He uses DNA bacterial testing and other scientific methods for early risk assessment and creating personalized treatment plans.

We talk about everything today from how a young dentist can get started focusing on total wellness and how to find other specialists for your network. Doug has even started the Wellness Dentistry Network which is an internet based community of dentists that care how oral health affects the whole body. We talk about specialization, periodontal health, inflammation, heart health, and airway health. Doug shares his in-depth knowledge and gives us tons of useful resources.
