Welcome to Total Health Academy
At Total Health Academy, we believe in transforming dental practices into hubs of total health. Founded by Dr. Susan Maples, a visionary in Total Health Dentistry, our mission is to empower dental professionals to integrate oral health with overall wellness. Through our comprehensive, self-paced online platform, your entire dental team will gain the knowledge and tools needed to improve patient care, build stronger interdisciplinary partnerships, and grow a thriving, health-centered practice.
Empowering Dental Teams for a Healthier Tomorrow
Our curriculum is designed to help dental teams connect the dots between oral conditions and systemic diseases. You’ll learn how to identify and manage lifestyle-related health risks such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and sleep-disordered breathing. By adopting a Total Health approach, your team will be better equipped to deliver a more meaningful, patient-centered experience that goes beyond the teeth and gums. This not only improves clinical outcomes but also builds trust and long-term loyalty with your patients.
Transformative Learning for All Ages
The Adult Learning Package covers an array of critical topics, including periodontal disease, nutrition and obesity, sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension, and tobacco cessation. It equips clinicians to confidently screen for medical risks and counsel patients using evidence-based strategies. The Pediatric Learning Package introduces innovative approaches to early intervention, including infant oral health exams, airway health assessments, lip and tongue tie identification, and practical patient education tools like the Hands-On Learning Lab™.
Each module is grounded in real-world scenarios and supported by interactive resources that make learning both effective and enjoyable. Our goal is to help you implement these insights immediately within your practice.
