Kathryn Gilliam to Present at RDH Under One Roof 2026
MicrobeLinkDx® is excited to share that Kathryn Gilliam, BA, RDH, MAAOSH, HIAOMT, CIABDM, will be presenting at RDH Under One Roof 2026, one of the nation’s premier continuing education events for dental hygienists.
Kathryn’s course,
From Routine to Revolutionary: The New Era of Healing in Hygiene
explores how today’s dental professionals can elevate patient care by combining evidence-based periodontal therapy, oral-systemic science, and precision diagnostics to improve clinical outcomes.
Why This Topic Matters
Research continues to strengthen the connection between periodontal pathogens and systemic health. Understanding the oral microbiome allows clinicians to identify bacterial risk factors earlier, personalize treatment planning, and have more meaningful conversations with patients about their overall health.
At MicrobeLinkDx®, we believe education and diagnostics work hand in hand to help practices deliver more predictable periodontal care.
Our paper point DNA-PCR bacterial testing helps clinicians identify key periodontal pathogens associated with:
- Periodontal disease
- Peri-implant disease
- Cardiovascular disease
- Diabetes
- Adverse pregnancy outcomes
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Respiratory disease
- Chronic inflammation
Continuing the Conversation
Kathryn’s presentation reflects the same mission we strive for every day—helping dental teams move beyond treating symptoms and toward identifying the underlying bacterial causes of disease.
If you’re attending RDH Under One Roof, be sure to add Kathryn’s presentation to your schedule.
