Membership Benefits That Make A Difference

As a dentist, your first responsibility is to provide excellent care for your patients. At the same time, as a business owner, you need to keep your practice healthy and growing for yourself and your team. Balancing those two priorities can be challenging.

The Wellness Dentistry Network (WDN) is designed to support both. We’ve built a practical system that gives you the resources and guidance to raise the level of care you deliver while also driving the growth of your practice.

When you bring WDN into your practice, you give your patients more than routine dental care. You offer them advanced, science-based services that improve their health in ways they notice and value. At the same time, your team gains confidence and clarity with tested protocols, and your practice strengthens its reputation as a leader in modern dentistry.

With WDN, you’re not just running a practice. You’re building a future-focused, wellness-driven legacy that helps set a new standard for dentistry.

The Oral-Systemic Link

At the Wellness Dentistry Network, we are transforming traditional dentistry with a forward-thinking approach that emphasizes the connection between oral health and systemic health. Emerging research continues to highlight the critical link between these two, inspiring us as wellness-focused dentists to explore this connection further. By addressing the root causes of oral disease—rather than just treating the symptoms—you can help your patients experience improved vitality, enhanced overall health, and greater longevity.

Utilizing Salivary Diagnostics

To effectively treat oral diseases, it’s crucial to understand exactly what you’re up against. By using PCR and shotgun salivary diagnostic tests, your dental team can pinpoint the microbes causing dysbiosis and other oral health issues. This advanced diagnostic approach is further enhanced by Dr. Thompson’s extensive expertise, with over thirty years of clinical experience—including fifteen years focused on utilizing salivary diagnostics to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with oral disease, cavities, and periodontal issues.

Monthly Webinars & Open Forums

Stay ahead of emerging oral health research, clinical protocols, and best practices with our monthly webinars and open forum discussions. Our webinars, held on the first Monday of each month, offer structured learning events to keep your dental team up-to-date on the latest developments in oral health care. The open forum chats, taking place on the third Wednesday of each month, provide a unique opportunity for direct interaction with Dr. Thompson and the Wellness Dentistry Network (WDN) team, allowing you to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions on oral disease treatment and dental wellness. Plus, CEU certification for our webinars is coming soon—stay tuned!

Total Mouth Disinfection

To effectively achieve both clinical and microbiological endpoints when using salivary diagnostics, we recommend following Dr. Thompson’s Total Mouth Disinfection protocols. Proven by years of patients maintaining periodontal stability, this protocol is backed by evidence-based research and presented in simple terms, empowering your hygienists to confidently support their patients. These protocols not only guide effective treatment but also transform the way patients think about their mouths. By providing you with the tools to educate your patients, you can help them understand the crucial link between oral health and overall wellness, leading to more engaged, proactive care.

Customizable Forms

With the Wellness Dentistry Network, you gain access to customizable patient-facing resources that carry your own practice’s brand. Each form can be personalized with your logo and footer text, including your name, location, and phone number, so patients see information that comes directly from you. Instead of handing out generic materials, you provide professional resources that reflect your practice identity and build trust. This simple detail helps you communicate more effectively, strengthen your credibility, and ensure patients feel fully supported by your team.
