“Cutting Through the Myths. Getting to the Root”

Dr. Mark D. Schenkman is a practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a scalpel-sharp mind and a mission to transform health from the roots up — starting with the mouth. Combining surgical precision with systemic insight, he challenges the medical profession’s narrow focus on symptoms, championing nutrition and lifestyle as essential tools in preventing and reversing chronic disease. With a unique perspective forged at the crossroads of dentistry and medicine, Dr. Schenkman is not only a skilled clinician but also a passionate educator and advocate for deeper, more honest patient care. Whether he’s in the operating room, the lecture hall, or on the TEDx stage, his message is clear: We must treat causes, not just conditions.
