Why Get Started? 

What if the most common chronic diseases in the world were already walking into your operatory every day? They are. The mouth is a first line to find the underlying causes.

Integrated Advanced Training

Track 3 is our Comprehensive Clinical Pathway, granting access to the entirety of IFD’s curriculum. You'll learn how functional laboratory testing, advanced imaging, and targeted assessments reveal what the exam alone can't: environmental toxicants and heavy metals, the body's capacity for biotransformation, immune and inflammatory patterns, mold exposure, and the links between occlusion and the autonomic nervous system.

IFD Modules

Modules group lectures by topics, building in educational depth and complexity. The advanced level includes Modules 1-6. Upon completion, students will be able to evaluate when assessments will change the course of care, interpret test results and communicate findings to patients and the physicians who share their care, and describe the mechanisms and evidence for advanced therapeutics and integrate them with nutrition, detoxification, and mind-body support to optimize recovery.

Curriculum Details

The Advanced Level contains the entirety of the IFD curriculum. 

Track 3 sharpens the tools that turn clinical suspicion into clear direction. Each topic is framed around one question: when does a test change the plan? You'll explore bioenergetics, the idea that tissue healing runs on cellular energy, and the landscape of devices now reaching dental practice with an honest look at the evidence behind each. You'll see how these tools support recovery in the chair and after surgery, and how they combine with nutrition, detoxification, and mind-body support to optimize whole-person healing. Module 3 brings diagnostics and therapeutics together into confident, collaborative, recovery-focused care.

Our motto is

#Mouth Matters| #Spit for Science| #Bridge the Gap


Join thousands of clinicians transforming the way they understand, diagnose, and address oral-systemic health.

Continuing Education Disclosure:

Continuing education (CE) credit for the Institute for Functional Dentistry (IFD) Certification Program is awarded on a module-by-module basis in accordance with AGD PACE guidelines. All IFD courses are self-paced and didactic; no hands-on clinical training is included. Each CE-eligible module consists of required educational components, which may include self-instruction lectures and associated assessments. Completion of all CE-eligible components and the module evaluation is required to earn CE credit. Case studies, integration sessions, and discussion-based learning experiences are included for educational enrichment but are designated as non-CE activities. Participants are encouraged to seek additional hands-on training and clinical mentorship before applying new techniques in patient care settings.The IFD curriculum is structured as a sequential program. Modules must be completed in order (Module 1 through Module 6). Each module builds upon foundational concepts introduced in prior modules. The learning platform is configured to enforce this order, subsequent modules will remain locked until prior modules are successfully completed. This structure ensures all participants enter each stage of the curriculum with the appropriate preparation.

All IFD courses are didactic and self-paced in format. They do not include live patient interaction, supervised clinical practice, or hands-on procedural training. Completion of this course does not confer clinical competency to perform procedures. Participants are advised to supplement didactic learning with appropriate clinical training, mentorship, or supervised hands-on practice before incorporating new techniques into patient care. It is the professional and ethical responsibility of each licensed practitioner to assess their own clinical readiness prior to applying new skills in a patient care setting.
