At The AAOSH Annual Session: Charles Whitney MD Launching Community and Medical Outreach Program for Dental Practices™
Doylestown,
PA – September 22, 2014 – 3rd Era Dentistry, a company
founded by Dr. Charles Whitney, the nation’s leading medical advocate for improved
collaboration between dentistry and medicine, is launching The Community and Medical Outreach Program for Dental Practices.
The comprehensive practice
transformation program will debut during the 2014 Annual Scientific Session of
the American Academy for Oral-Systemic Health from September 26-28th
in St. Louis, MO.
3rd Era Dentistry is a division of 3rd
Era Health Inc., which was recently formed by Dr. Whitney to be a catalyst for
integrating patient care across all healthcare disciplines in an effort to prevent
illness by creating health.
According to Dr. Whitney, “3rd Era
Dentistry was formed as our first corporate division because I firmly believe
that if a physician and dental professional together
deliver the message that what happens in the mouth really matters, we can begin
to reverse the increase of serious, yet preventable systemic conditions such as
heart disease, diabetes and dementia in the United States. Dental professionals must be invited to the
table of integrative medicine!”
During the AAOSH Annual Scientific Session,
Dr. Whitney’s director of operations, hygiene thought leader Lisa Wadsworth,
RDH, BS and strategic marketing adviser Michael Ventriello will be unveiling The Community and Medical Outreach Program
for Dental Practices, a comprehensive package of tools designed to empower
dental practices to achieve the following goals:
·
Improve
Credibility with Physicians
·

·

·

“The
underlying goal of The Community and
Medical Outreach Program is to break down the communications barriers
between dentists, physicians and patients and level the playing field when it
comes to understanding the importance of the mouth-body connection,” explained
Wadsworth.
