Who you'll hear from
GUEST SPEAKER
Three doctors who rarely share a room, together for one day on October 13
Most heart risk builds for years without a single symptom, and most people only ever hear about it in pieces: a cholesterol number from one office, a comment about their gums from another. The doctors who could connect those pieces work in different buildings and keep different files. On October 13, three of them will be in the same room with you.
The risk that builds quietly between appointments
That split has a real cost. Carotid ultrasound research links the thickest artery walls to 1.4 to 3.2 times the risk of heart attack, and a study of 172,630 adults found that tooth loss and gum problems were indicators of higher heart disease risk (the full findings are in the research section on this page). Signals like these can sit in plain sight for years, divided between a physical and a dental cleaning, with nobody sitting down to explain in plain language what they mean together or what you could actually do about them.
Dr. Pritchard, Dr. Wade, and Dr. Avis, in one room
Getting an hour with any one of these doctors takes effort. Getting all three for the same day, building on each other's work in front of you, is something most people are never offered, and it's the real reason this event exists.
Dr. Gina Pritchard, DNP, has been in practice since 2005 and is licensed in 47 states and Washington, D.C., through her telehealth practice, Heart of Longevity and The Prevent Clinic. She's the connective tissue of the day, taking what you hear about your mouth and your airway and tying it back to your heart, your arteries, and the rest of your body.
Dr. Jill Wade, DDS, MAGD, founded Stonebriar Smile Design in Frisco and Plano, Texas, and has more than 20 years in practice behind her. She's a founding member of the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health and completed a Bale/Doneen Method preceptorship, so the connection between oral health and whole-body health sits at the center of her work.
A third-generation dentist, Dr. Victor Avis is Chairman of the Board of The Airway Revolution Foundation, which he co-founded in 2021 with his daughter, Sydney. He joins as our guest speaker on airway health and where it fits in the larger picture.
What October 13 looks like, starting at 10:00 AM CST
The morning opens with on-site carotid artery and arterial age ultrasound testing, a look at the artery wall itself with no needles and no radiation. At 12:30 PM CST the live teaching begins, covering how The Prevent Method connects dental and whole-body care, how the two practices work together, and Dr. Avis on airway health. Seeing your own artery wall for the first time can turn prevention into something personal, and you'll leave with a clearer picture of where your arteries stand, early enough to act on it.
Doctors with this kind of background spend most of their days inside their own practices, in their own cities, seeing patients one at a time, so a day where all three teach together, in language you can follow, doesn't come around often. Being in that room is a genuine privilege. Detect early, act early, reduce risk: October 13 is where that starts.
Someone on our team will call you personally to schedule your testing time.
