Instructor Bio
Leona Meditz learned dental protocols working 10 years for a well-known Dental Practice Management Company, visiting over 1,000 US dental practices but it wasn’t until she became Director of Development for Centers for Dental Medicine that she learned of the oral systemic connection. In 2002, Richard Carmona was appointed by President George W Bush as surgeon general. He stated, “You cannot be healthy without Oral Health”. The oral systemic connection was unveiled.
It would take 10 more years before diagnostic and treatment protocols would begin to change.
On Feb 16, 2011 Leona’s husband of 37 years died of a heart attack. He was 62. Periodontal disease is multi-faceted so no one knows how much it contributed to his death. Since then, her passion is to save others from the pain of prematurely losing their loved one.
Leona introduced the first CO2 laser from Poland used for periodontal therapy. She and her team created the communication protocols needed to help patients understand their need for Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy. She first published those protocols, Dentist to Physician Patient Advocacy, for Health’s Sake in the May 2014 issue of Dentistry Today dental clinical news magazine. Since then, Dentistry Today published 3 more articles on her protocols, which are widely used and still taught to dentists and their teams.
