A few days in New Orleans filled with learning, laughter, connection, and a little bit of spooky fun! 🦷🎷☕👻
Here’s a look back at our AAOSH conference adventure!
📸 September 10-WE’RE OFF! ✈️
OKC ➡️ Dallas ➡️ New Orleans!
We arrived and jumped right into an incredible weekend of continuing education.
📸 THURSDAY 🦷
We kicked things off with The Oral Microbiome Revolution and learned some fascinating information about oral probiotics, salivary diagnostics, and prevention.
Then it was off to explore the exhibit hall and connect with some amazing vendors!
📸 DINNER IN NOLA 🍽️
First night in New Orleans = dinner at Mr. B’s Bistro!
And yes… the crab cakes were as good as everyone said! 😋
📸 FRIDAY September 11📚
Coffee ☕ + continuing education 🦷 + lots of great conversations!
We learned about blood sugar and inflammation, oral-systemic health, precision medicine, and even watched a live podcast recording!
📸 JAZZ & SECOND LINE 🎷💃
We cleaned up and headed to the AAOSH Jazz Gala!
Music, dancing, great company, and a traditional New Orleans Second Line made for an unforgettable evening!
📸 SATURDAY 🧠✨
Another day packed with learning!
From xerostomia and the oral microbiome to creating a five-star patient experience and exploring pregnancy microbiome care, there was so much to take home and share with our patients.
📸 MAKING CONNECTIONS 🤝
One of the highlights was attending a VIP meet-and-greet with ADA President Dr. Rich Rosato.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with other dental professionals who are passionate about advancing oral health and patient care.
📸 NEW ORLEANS AFTER DARK 👻⚜️
After a full day of education, we traded our notebooks for a little adventure!
Dinner at Muriel’s Jackson Square followed by a haunted tour with Phantoms of the French Quarter.
History, great food, and just enough spooky stories to keep things interesting! 👻
📸 HEADING HOME ❤️✈️
Sunday brought us back home to Oklahoma City—but we didn’t come home empty-handed!
We brought back new knowledge, new connections, fresh ideas, and an even greater passion for helping our patients understand the connection between oral health and whole-body wellness.
✨ What a trip! What a conference! What an experience!
New Orleans, until next time! ⚜️🦷💜
