Lecture up to 1 hour 

Periodontics, AGD Subject Code 490

Program Description:

Tired of seeing the same bleeding and pocketing return again and again? This course reveals why scaling and root planing can fail. You’ll uncover how to interpret red, orange, and green complex bacteria, and how to match them to targeted therapies that actually work. Through live case walk-throughs and breakout exercises, you’ll leave confident in reading saliva reports and applying evidence-based protocols that get proven periodontal results. So let’s stop treating symptoms. Start treating the source—with the right product, at the right time, for the right patient.

Upon completion of this session, attendees should be able to:

    • Interpret saliva test data to classify bacterial risk profiles.
    • Differentiate antimicrobial, probiotic, and adjunctive care based on microbial type.

With a career spanning over three decades, Lora Hooper is a leading expert in integrating oral systemic health into clinical practice. Known as the “SALIVA HACKER,” she is widely recognized for her extensive work in salivary diagnostics. Lora earned her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene and Expanded Function Dental Auxiliary certification from The Ohio State University in 1995. She furthered her expertise by becoming a Preceptor of the Bale Doneen Method in 2011 and completing the SSRP peptide program in 2023. This advanced education led her to shift from symptom suppression to disease reversal, an approach she now passionately advocates in the dental profession. Lora is currently the President of IDMSS, the Integrative Dental Medicine Scholar Society, and Co-Founder of SalivaryAI, where she empowers dental professionals to incorporate salivary diagnostics into their everyday practices. As a sought-after speaker and workshop coach, she has guided countless clinicians in implementing saliva testing in oral-systemic care. Her insights can also be found on the Ask Why Medicine and Cheat Codes for Health podcasts, where she educates the public and her colleagues on the transformative potential of testing. Her dedication to transforming patient care by integrating dental and general medicine revolutionizes how health professionals approach disease prevention and treatment.

Ms Hooper receives product support from SimplyTest and is a KOL for the IDMSS, Urban Monk, Prevent Clinic, MDVIP, and Dawson Academy.
