The IAOMT has been officially recognized as a designated provider of continuing dental education by the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD)’s Program Approval for Continuing Education (PACE) since 1993. We are proud to offer a range of courses for professionals pursuing advanced knowledge of biological dentistry.  Each of our courses is briefly described below:

  • Fundamentals of Biological Dentistry Course: This workshop is offered at the IAOMT’s biannual conferences and is considered essential for dentists and other dental staff members who want to learn more about mercury-free, mercury-safe, and biological dentistry. It is described as a presentation about the vital aspects involved with operating a biological dental practice and covers all the introductory basics in relation to dental mercury, safe amalgam removal, fluoride risks, and biological periodontal therapy.
  • e-learning Program: This online learning program consists of an introduction and 10 video modules (Mercury 101, Mercury 102, Safe Removal of Amalgam Fillings, Environmental Impact of Dental Mercury, Nutrition in Dentistry, Mercury Detox, Fluoride, Biocompatibility and Oral Galvanism, Biological Periodontal Therapy, and Hidden Pathogens).
  • SMART Certification: This educational program about the IAOMT’s Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) was developed based on scientific research and the need to protect dentists, dental staff, and patients from mercury releases during an amalgam filling removal. The training in amalgam removal involves learning about the application of rigorous safety measures, including the utilization of specific equipment. The course includes three units (Unit 1: Introduction to the IAOMT; Unit 2: Mercury 101,102, and Dental Amalgam and the Environment; and Unit 3: Safe Removal of Amalgam Fillings. Dentists achieving SMART are recognized for completing this training on the IAOMT’s Dentist Directory so that patients opting to find a dentist knowledgeable about the Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique can do so.
  • Biological Dental Hygiene Accreditation certifies to the professional community and the general public that a member hygienist has been trained and tested in the comprehensive application of biological dental hygiene. The course includes ten units; the three units described in SMART Certification above and the seven units described in the Accreditation definitions below; however, the coursework in the Biological Dental Hygiene Accreditation is specifically designed for dental hygienists.
  • Accreditation (AIAOMT):
    Accreditation by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) certifies to the professional community and the general public that a member dentist has been trained and tested in the comprehensive application of biological dentistry. The course includes seven units; Unit 4: Clinical Nutrition and Heavy Metal Detoxification for Biological Dentistry; Unit 5: Biocompatibility and Oral Galvanism; Unit 6: Sleep-Disordered Breathing, Myofunctional Therapy, and Ankyloglossia; Unit 7: Fluoride; Unit 8: Biological Periodontal Therapy; Unit 9: Root Canals; Unit 10: Jawbone Osteonecrosis. Dentists achieving Accreditation are recognized for completing this training on the IAOMT’s Dentist Directory so that patients opting to find a dentist knowledgeable about mercury, safe removal, fluoride, biological periodontal therapy, root canals, and jawbone osteonecrosis can do so.

  • Fellowship (FIAOMT) and Mastership (MIAOMT): These educational certifications from the IAOMT require Accreditation and the creation of a scientific review and approval of the review by the Board, as well as an additional 500 hours of credit in research, education, and/or service.
