Throwback to our surgery course here at the practice.

Four teams flew in from all over the country. Two and a half days learning wellness surgery protocols, blood draws, PRF, safe extractions, and cavitation surgery.

Over the shoulder, live cases. Real patients. Real results.

And you know what every doctor said? "Nobody taught us this in school."

The connection between nutrition and healing. Why blood work matters before surgery. How to identify cavitations that conventional dentistry misses.

We're on a waitlist now for 2026 courses because dentists are hungry for this. They know there's a better way, they just don't have the roadmap.

If you're one of them, if you're tired of referring out surgery you know you could do, if you want to feel confident taking care of your patients at a deeper level...

Get on that waitlist.

Because this is the dentistry that actually changes lives. Including yours.

We're heading into Week 50 and after the incredible energy from last week's Wellness Dentist Summit, this Wednesday's LIVE is one you can't miss.

The Summit was packed with strategy, clarity, and real breakthroughs. I watched so many lightbulbs go off in that room. This week, I'm distilling all of it down into the 5 key takeaways that every dentist in this community needs to act on right now.

If you were there, this will help you integrate what you learned.

If you missed it, this is your chance to catch the heart of it without sifting through hours of content.

These takeaways aren't generic. They're the shifts, decisions, and frameworks already reshaping practices and leadership inside our circle.

This recap is your opportunity to tighten your direction, align your actions, and stay connected to the movement we're building together.

You'll walk away clear, focused, and ready for what's next.

This is why I help dentists learn about Wellness Dentistry.

She was terrified when she walked in. Bleeding that wouldn't stop, and nobody could tell her why.

Her previous dentist tried everything. Gave her instructions, rechecked the site, even put her on antibiotics. Nothing worked.

We ran a full panel. Vitamin K deficiency so severe I'm shocked she wasn't having other bleeding issues. Inflammation through the roof. Diabetes completely unmanaged.

Her mouth was just showing what her whole body was screaming.

We got her stable, connected her with a functional medicine doctor, supported her healing. Now she's doing great.
But here's what gets me: this was preventable. If someone had just asked the bigger questions earlier.

This is why blood work matters. Why collaboration with medical providers matters. Why wellness dentistry isn't optional anymore.

The mouth tells the story. We just have to learn how to listen.

12/05/2025

She looked perfectly healthy. Came in for her regular checkup. Gums looked okay, no cavities, great home care. She was doing everything right.

But something was off. Her gums weren’t healing the way they should. High inflammation that just wouldn’t come down. Nothing made sense clinically.

So I paused. And I asked for her recent labs.

I checked her fasting glucose. Her A1C.

And everything clicked.

It was diabetes. Uncontrolled. Her body was fighting a much bigger battle than what I was seeing in her mouth.

That inflammation? That wasn’t just “gingivitis.” That was her immune system overwhelmed. Her body trying to heal while dealing with chronically elevated blood sugar.

Here’s what hit me, I almost treated the mouth and missed the real issue entirely.

If I had just scaled and root planed and sent her home, we would’ve been chasing symptoms. Six months later, same problem. Because we never addressed what was actually going on.

This is why I teach dentists to look deeper, you know? Because sometimes what looks like a dental issue is actually a metabolic one. A systemic one. A whole-body issue showing up in the mouth first.

The mouth and body are never separate. Never. đź’š

When we treat them as one system, we actually help people heal.

Here's what I've learned. When we use it wisely, it doesn't replace us. It elevates us. It helps us be more present with our patients, more efficient with our time, and more accurate in our care.

That's why I'm presenting on The Future of AI in Wellness Dentistry at the Wellness Dentist Summit 2025.

I'll be sharing how we're using AI in our practice right now. From recording team meetings to analyzing blood work to creating custom patient education. And I'll show you how you can implement these tools without losing the human connection that makes wellness dentistry so powerful.

This isn't about becoming more robotic. It's about becoming freer to do what we do best, which is care for people.

You know what I hear from dentists all the time? I want to grow my practice, but I don't know where to start.

That's exactly why Dawn Miller is joining us at the Wellness Dentist Summit 2025 to present on Annual Planning for Wellness Dental Practices.

Dawn is our COO, and she's the reason our practice runs the way it does. She understands that vision without a plan is just a wish. And a plan without systems? That's just stress.

At the summit, she's going to walk you through exactly how we plan our year. From setting goals to building routines to making sure your team is aligned and moving in the same direction.

This isn't fluffy goal setting. This is practical, actionable planning that you can take back to your practice and implement immediately.

If your patients aren’t getting numb, this is for you. 💉

We’ve all had that patient. You double-check your technique. Your angulation is perfect. You used the right amount of anesthetic. Maybe even switched to a different one.

But they’re still not numb. Or they were numb for five minutes and now they’re not.

So you give more. And more. And you’re both frustrated because nothing’s working.

Here’s what I learned to do: pause.

Stop trying to solve it with more anesthetic. And start asking what’s going on beneath the surface.

Is their inflammation too high? Chronic inflammation changes tissue pH. It makes local anesthetic less effective.

Are they too acidic? Anesthetic works best in alkaline tissue. If their body is chronically acidic, it won’t uptake properly.

Are their stress hormones elevated? A nervous system in fight-or-flight can literally block anesthetic from working the way it should.

Sometimes the body can’t receive what we’re giving because it’s in survival mode, you know?

And here’s the thing, we can keep injecting. But if we don’t address what’s happening systemically, we’re just chasing our tails.

This is where the blood work comes in. What’s their inflammatory markers showing? What’s their cortisol doing? Are they metabolically stable?

Because remember, the blood tells us what the mouth can’t. 🩸

Your technique isn’t failing. Their body just isn’t ready to receive.

Let me ask you something. Have you ever felt like there's more to healing than what we learned in dental school?

That's exactly why I'm thrilled to have Dr. Rachaele Carver joining us at the Wellness Dentist Summit 2025. She's presenting on Energy Medicine in the Modern Dental Practice.

I know, I know. Some of you might be thinking, energy medicine in dentistry? But here's what I've learned. Our patients are more than just teeth and gums. They're nervous systems. They're energy. They're emotions stored in the body.

When we understand how to work with that, everything changes. Patient anxiety decreases. Healing improves. And honestly? You'll feel different too.

🌿 Hello Wellness Dentists!

Week 49 is here, and you can feel the momentum building around the Wellness Dentist Summit. Every year, this is the moment when things start to shift for our entire community, because we don’t wait for January to get intentional. We preload the year.

Here’s the thing...
This one simple practice has been the highest-leverage habit in my own life and business. I’ve done it every December for years, and it’s changed everything. How I lead. How I practice. How I live.

Most people wait until January to set goals. But wellness leaders know better. We start with vision.

We reflect. We plan. We align.

That’s why this Wednesday’s conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

If you want a year that doesn’t just happen to you, but happens because of you, join me live.

Dentist!!

Someone who's going to change the way you think about oral health and whole body wellness.

Dr. Nathan Bryan is joining us at the Wellness Dentist Summit 2025, and he's presenting on The Role of Nitric Oxide in Oral and Whole Body Health.

Here's the thing. Most of us were never taught about nitric oxide in dental school. But this molecule? It's a game-changer. It affects everything from blood pressure to wound healing to how your patients recover after procedures. And guess where a huge portion of nitric oxide production happens? Right in the oral cavity.

When we understand this connection, we stop just treating teeth. We start understanding the whole system.

Dr. Bryan is one of the leading researchers in this field, and I'm so honored to have him share his expertise with our community.

The mouth is where wellness begins. Let's learn together.

12/01/2025

Three labs I check before every extraction. Here’s why. 🩸

Every extraction is surgery. And surgery requires readiness.

I don’t care if it’s a simple extraction or a surgical one. If we’re removing a tooth, I’m checking these three labs first:

1. CBC (Complete Blood Count)
Can they clot properly? Is their immune system ready? If their platelets are low or their white blood cells are off, we need to know before we start.

2. Vitamin D
Bone healing depends on it. If they’re severely deficient, that socket isn’t going to heal the way we want. And most people? They’re deficient.

3. High-sensitivity CRP
Hidden inflammation. The kind that doesn’t show up in the mouth but will absolutely affect healing. If CRP is elevated, their body is already fighting something.

Here’s the thing, these aren’t complicated tests. They’re simple markers that tell me how the body will respond. Not just to the procedure, but to the healing after.

Because I’m not just thinking about getting the tooth out. I’m thinking about what happens next week. Next month. Six months from now.

Will the site heal? Will they get dry socket? Will infection set in? Will the bone integrate if we’re placing an implant later?

These labs give me answers before I ever pick up an elevator.

This is proactive dentistry. This is wellness dentistry. đź’š

We’re not just reacting to problems. We’re preventing them.
