Podcasts about dental surgery degree

Listen in with Dr. Justin Moody and Dr. Savanah Craig discussing her path to dentistry.  Dr. Savanah Craig is a graduate of Baldwin Wallace University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology.  She graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry.  Following graduation, Dr. Craig completed a General Practice Residency in Columbia, SC.  She now practices as a general dentist in Columbus, OH. Throughout her training, she has been heavily involved in organized dentistry and believes in the importance of community and mentorship in the dental profession.  As an active member of the Ignite DDS team, she works to empower other dentists to take control of their careers.  Inspired by her own journey as a young dentist, it is her hope that this podcast will serve as a resource and conversation starter for dentists in the "messy middle" of their journey.

I am a highly experienced holistic dentist with a professional journey spanning over three decades among disciplines and continents. My clinical practice, based in both the U.S. and Europe, encompasses general dentistry, systemic dentistry, cosmetic enhancements, preventive care, and specialized treatments such as amalgam removal, infection treatment, and snoring/sleep apnea interventions. I have had the privilege of leading dental departments, directing operations, creating dental technologies and patents, and overseeing patient care in diverse settings from private practices to specialized medical centers.    My commitment to holistic health extends beyond traditional dentistry; I've pursued advanced studies in aesthetic medicine, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and other integrative disciplines, furthering my understanding of the interconnectedness of oral health with overall wellbeing. My academic credentials include an MSc in Aesthetic Medicine from Queen Mary University of London, a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the University of the Pacific, School of Dentistry, and a deep foundation in biochemistry from both California State University and UCLA.    As a staunch advocate for holistic, biomimetic, and environmentally conscious dentistry, I've acquired numerous accreditations, notably from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry, and American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Furthermore, my unique expertise in forensic dentistry as a Police Surgeon in New York showcases the diversity of my skills and contributions to the dental field.    Throughout my career, I have maintained active memberships with globally recognized dental associations, remaining committed to ongoing education, knowledge sharing, and promoting holistic dentistry principles. As a seasoned practitioner, I'm passionate about harnessing the power of integrative care to create personalized and comprehensive dental experiences for my patients.    Over the years, a consistent dedication to holistic dentistry has been showcased through diverse professional engagements, from the Holistic Dental Association's emphasis on Dental Epigenetics and Biomimetics to collaborations with Dr. Klinghardt Institute on systemic dentistry. This journey, marked by insights into the links between oral health and systemic well-being, has positioned dentistry as central to overall health. Both live sessions and online appearances, like the Myers Detox Podcast and Dr. Talks Summit, have echoed this sentiment, spotlighting the evolving role of dental practices in holistic wellness. I'm most proud of my patent established on United Stats Patient, Registered September 8th, 2020 for the Casanova Facelift technology.    I possess a wealth of expertise in dentistry and related fields, gained through extensive continuous education and specialized training that is unmatched except by the 1% of top dentists. My journey encompasses a diverse range of courses, seminars, and conferences, spanning topics such as advanced aesthetics, injectable fillers, dental implants, holistic dentistry, and more. Through this journey, I've developed a deep understanding of dental practice, blending theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience to embrace emerging technologies and evolving medical trends.

Mercury fillings and dental infections can have long-term effects on health, including chronic issues and systemic toxicity. Proper preparation and protocols are essential before and after dental procedures to ensure successful outcomes and minimize the risk of complications. Biomimetic dentistry focuses on conserving as much natural tooth structure as possible and using advanced techniques to promote longevity and oral health. Addressing gut health and heavy metal detoxification are crucial aspects of dental care and overall wellness. Cavitations are infections in the jaw that can cause autoimmune issues and other health problems. Improper tooth extractions and other factors can lead to cavitations. Mercury fillings and heavy metal toxicity can contribute to cavitations and other health issues. Detoxification and chelation protocols should be approached with caution and under the guidance of a knowledgeable practitioner. Addressing the physical, energetic, mental, intuitive, and spiritual aspects of healing is important. A 3D cone beam scan is recommended for diagnosing cavitations. Finding a dentist with expertise in whole body dentistry is crucial. 3D scans are essential for identifying cavitations and should be a standard practice in dentistry. Continuing education is crucial for dentists to stay updated on new treatments and technologies. Mineral balancing plays a significant role in overall health and should be considered in patient care. Melatonin can aid in detoxification and improve sleep architecture. Zirconia implants are a better alternative to titanium implants due to their biocompatibility and ability to allow light to pass through. Addressing structural issues before dental procedures is important for long-term success. Collaboration between dentists and chiropractors can enhance treatment outcomes.   Keywords: biological dentistry, mercury fillings, dental infections, cavitations, holistic approach, immune system, dental toxins, dental procedures, biomimetic dentistry, gut health, heavy metal detoxification, root canals, cavitations, jaw infections, autoimmune issues, tooth extractions, mercury fillings, heavy metal toxicity, detoxification, chelation, holistic healing, 3D cone beam scan, whole body dentistry, cavitations, 3D scans, continuing education, mineral balancing, melatonin, zirconia implants, structural issues, collaboration

News Roundup       Despite threats from White House, social media companies crack down on misinformation Despite president Trump’s continued claims that Silicon Valley, and social media companies in particular, harbor an anti-conservative bias, social media companies have stepped up their efforts to prevent a repeat performance of the 2016 election during which misinformation and state-sponsored propaganda ran rampant, often in favor of Trump’s presidency, according to the Mueller report and several other sources. On Monday night, after a day of employee virtual walkouts at the company in response to Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg’s insistence on leaving up posts that contain misinformation, civil right leaders met with Zuckerberg via videocall and things did not go well. Leadership Conference for Civil and Human Rights President Vanita Gupta, NAACP Legal Defense Fund head Sherrilyn Ifill, and Color of Change Executive Director Rashad Robinson issued a statement following the meeting stating that Zuckerberg “did not demonstrate understanding of historic or modern-day voter suppression and he refuses to acknowledge how Facebook is facilitating Trump's call for violence against protesters. Mark is setting a very dangerous precedent for other voices who would say similar harmful things on Facebook.” Zuckerberg followed up with a company memo on Friday saying the social media giant was again in the process of reviewing its policies related to discussions about police brutality and voter suppression.  Before Zuckerberg’s announcement, the company had already begun making the public aware of foreign interference on the platform by labeling state-sponsored posts.  Following the meeting with civil rights leaders and Mr. Zuckerberg’s announcement, Facebook, citing copyright concerns, removed a campaign video in which the president appeared to pay tribute to George Floyd. The company cited copyright concerns for taking down the video, after it had received complaints from the artist who’d created some of the artwork featured in the video. Twitter had also removed the video, which the White House called an illegal escalation – Twitter denied that removing the video was illegal and also cited to the president’s use of copyrighted material. Facebook also removed some 200 accounts associated with white supremacy groups last week. The company also removed fake antifa accounts, according to Reuters. Over at Reddit, some subreddit pages went dark in protest over the company’s hate speech policy, which leans heavily in favor of free speech. The protest culminated in Reddit Co-Founder Alex Ohanian’s resignation from the board and calling for his seat to be filled by an African-American board member. Ohanian also indicated that he would be donating $1 million to Colin Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp and investing future gains on his stock in the black community. Also, on Wednesday, Snapchat announced that it would no longer promote President Trump’s account due to the president’s promotion of violence during protests over the weekend before last.  Finally, the Center for Democracy and Technology sued the White House in the DC Circuit last week over the president’s executive order directing the independent Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission to work together, along with the Department of Commerce, to curtail enforcement of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The president issued the order after Twitter flagged one of the president’s tweets as misleading, and a tweet in which the president criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order to allow mail-in ballots. Elon Musk calls for Amazon break-up Elon Musk took to Twitter calling for a break-up of Amazon, which he labelled a monopoly.  The tweet came in response to a tweet by a New York Times reporter who’d written that Amazon had rejected his new book about COVID-19 on the grounds that it didn’t meet Amazon’s guidelines. Amazon has since stated that it removed the book in error. TikTok pledges to amplify black creators  TikTok pledged to amplify black creators last week amidst criticism that it censored and suppressed content posted by blacks. The company stated that it would form a creator diversity council and a handful of other initiatives to address these concerns. The company also participated in the music industry-led “Blackout Tuesday” during which the company shut down its Sounds page. It also announced that it would invest $3 million in organizations that work to address black inequality (although the company didn’t mention which organizations it plans to invest in). Senators criticize AT&T on zero-rating In a letter to AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, Senators Ed Markey and Ron Wyden criticized AT&T for zero-rating its own content on HBO. Zero-rating is the industry jargon used to describe the anticompetitive practice in which carriers count the use of competing platforms against their customers’ data limits but not their own content, in this case HBO, which AT&T acquired in 2018, along with HBO’s parent company WarnerMedia. The Senators set a response deadline of June 25th. Zoom announces end-to-end encryption for paying subscribers only Videoconference platform Zoom announced that it would be introducing end-to-end encryption, but only for paying subscribers. The company says doing so will allow it to work with the FBI to identify child pornographers and sex traffickers. However, Zoom made no reference to any evidence correlating free usership to the distribution of illegal content at a rate that exceeds the that of paid subscribers. California assembly introduces facial recognition bill The California Assembly is now considering a bill that would allow the State of California to conduct surveillance using facial recognition technology, if it gives notice ahead of time. The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California is opposing the measure on the grounds that it undercuts limitations on the use of facial recognition technology which are already in place in some local areas including San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. Denver cop fired for inciting a riot over Instagram during George Floyd protests Tommy McClay, a former police officer in Denver posed with two other cops for an Instagram photo for which he wrote “let’s start a riot”. That night, Denver police used tear gas and foam bullets against protesters, according to Ars Technica. The Denver Police Department fired McClay for the post. McClay was a brand new recruit—just 9 months out of the police academy—and so still subject to the initial probationary period of his tenure there. But one civil rights leader in Denver told Ars that the Denver Police Department has a high rate of re-hiring officers who were previously fired.
