Charles Whitney MD Launching New Company and Program for Oral-Systemic Specialists
Doylestown,
PA – August 12, 2014 – Charles
Whitney, MD who has become well known in the dental industry as a physician who
understands the oral-systemic connection, and for being a strong advocate for improved
collaboration between dentistry and medicine, will be launching a new company,
3rd Era Dentistry and The Oral-Systemic
Specialist Empowerment Program for Dental Hygienists at exhibit #1 at Under
One Roof 2014.
3rd Era Dentistry is a division of Dr.
Whitney’s newly-formed parent company, 3rd Era Health Inc., which was formed to
be a catalyst for integrating patient care across all healthcare disciplines in
an effort to create health and prevent illness.
The long-term plan is to form additional
divisions for forward-thinking professionals in other healthcare specialties,
but according to Dr. Whitney, “The integration of medicine and dentistry is
sadly lacking. That’s why 3rd Era Dentistry was where we needed to start - especially
among hygienists who are on the front lines of periodontal therapy and patient
education.”
At RDH Under One Roof, Dr. Whitney and
his director of operations, hygiene thought leader Lisa Wadsworth, RDH will be
unveiling The Oral-Systemic Specialist
Empowerment Program for Dental Hygienists, a comprehensive package of tools
designed to empower dental hygienists to achieve the following goals:
·

Oral-Systemic Specialists

Care Managers
·

Education Skills Regarding Oral-Systemic Links
·

hygiene community is very fortunate to have a physician advocate like Dr.
Whitney who truly appreciates what they do every day to contribute to the
overall health of a patient,” explained Wadsworth. “The collaboration between a
physician and a hygienist has resulted in a unique and powerful program”.
