This discussion will elucidate essential elements for establishing and maintaining cardiovascular wellness. The dental profession is positioned to play a profound role in this regard.  Oral health staff and providers will learn concurrent health issues and physical traits their patients may have which heighten CV risk. Attendees will be informed about the wisdom of utilizing technology to detect asymptomatic CV disease (CVD).  This talk will provide education regarding inflammation as the cause of CVD.  A special focus will be directed toward oral health as a cause of arterial disease and potential trigger of CV events. The BaleDoneen Method bridges the gap between medicine and dentistry to promote arterial wellness. Participants will be in position to enhance their own CV health as well as their patients.

An international leader in the prevention of heart attacks, strokes and diabetes, Amy L Doneen, DNP, ARNP is one of the most influential names in cardiology. She is the cofounder and a principal instructor in the BaleDoneen Method, practiced by hundreds of clinicians around the world. This genetically guided, precision-medicine approach to the prevention, detection and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been shown in two recent peer-reviewed studies to halt, stabilize and even reverse CVD, helping people avoid heart attacks and strokes, even if they have already suffered one or more of these events.ii,iii
