By bringing together thought leaders, best technologies, and best practices, we’ll introduce you to the most important health-changing trends in dental hygiene. We’ll explore practical tools and protocols that help dental teams work together to prevent and preserve both natural dentitions and dental implants. Early detection of diseases and advanced minimally invasive treatment techniques are emphasized. Seven consecutive sold-out events with rave reviews!

Educational Objectives

• Recognize why a history of periodontal disease is a major risk factor for dental implant complications—and learn strategies for earlier diagnosis and prevention.

• Apply the Larkin Protocol’s Test–Teach–Treat–Repeat framework to create a biological baseline, identify disease activity, personalize treatment, and measure improvement over time.

• Integrate advanced diagnostics—including phase-contrast microscopy, salivary testing, aMMP-8, pathogen testing, and clinical risk assessment—into everyday hygiene care.

• Implement science-based periodontal and peri-implant treatment protocols using disclosing, air polishing, ultrasonics, diode lasers, aqueous ozone, and supportive microbial therapies.

• Engage patients in their diagnosis by helping them see, understand, and take ownership of their oral health and its connection to lifelong healthspan.

• Develop the communication skills used in a health-centered practice to build value, strengthen case acceptance, and earn the patient’s “yes.”

• Strengthen collaboration among the dentist, hygienist, dental assistant, and administrative team through clearly defined roles and repeatable clinical systems.

• Transform the hygiene department from a routine preventive service into a center for earlier diagnosis, personalized prevention, implant longevity, and measurable health improvement.

• Create a healthier, more rewarding, and more profitable hygiene model—one that benefits the patient, the clinical team, and the practice.

• ​

Day 2 - Menopause, Oral Health and Women's Health

Midway,Kentucky 8:30 - 12:00

Dierdre Detraz, APRN, is one of the nation’s most experienced BaleDoneen cardiovascular disease prevention practitioners. Join her and Dr. Rachel Riley Woody for an intimate, highly interactive exploration of the complex connections among periodontal health, perimenopause, menopause, hormone replacement therapy, peptides, cardiovascular risk, and healthy aging. Dr. Riley will bring the dental perspective to this important discussion, demonstrating why oral health must be integrated into the care of women throughout midlife and beyond. Limited to just 15 participants, this special session will be held at Dr. Riley’s dental office in beautiful Midway, Kentucky. Transportation will be provided from the conference hotel.

Day 2 -The Hygiene Partnership Practice - The Compensation Conversation

8:30 - 12:00 The Origin Hotel

Dental hygiene can represent nearly one-third of the business of dentistry, yet many practices continue to struggle with compensation, retention, recruitment, and a “loss-leader” approach that undervalues the department. Join Dr.Jerry Mayes as he shares a proven business model he has successfully used for decades—one that elevates the hygienist from employee to Clinical Partner. This win-win approach recognizes the value hygienists bring through advanced diagnostics, expanded clinical skills, patient education, and treatment coordination while creating meaningful opportunities for professional and financial growth. Most importantly, it provides the “why” behind advanced training: when hygienists contribute at a higher level, they should participate in the value they help create. Limited to 15 participants
