Bleeding gums that persist despite routine periodontal care often signal a deeper issue—pathogenic bacteria that cannot be identified through clinical measurements alone.

The Perio Blind Spots Study Club is a 2026 in-person continuing education series in Nashville, Tennessee, designed for dentists, hygienists, and periodontal teams who want to better understand salivary testing, periodontal pathogens, and the microbiology behind chronic inflammation and implant complications.

This study club focuses on the biological drivers of periodontal disease, including bacterial profiles commonly identified through salivary and DNA-based periodontal testing

Presented by Nashville Dental Implants and Laser Periodontics 

Led by Dr. Elliot DeWeese, Nashville, Tennessee

The Perio Blind Spots Study Club is presented by Nashville Dental Implants and Laser Periodontics under the clinical leadership of Dr. Elliot DeWeese, a Nashville-based periodontist with a focus on advanced implant therapy, periodontal disease management, and laser-assisted treatment.

Dr. DeWeese’s clinical philosophy emphasizes identifying biologic risk factors—not just clinical symptoms—to improve long-term periodontal and implant outcomes.
