IABDM Biological Dental Certifications

IABDM credentialing speaks volumes to the world as we continue to lead in the field of biological dentistry and medicine. Level up through our Certification, Fellowship, and Mastership Programs.

“There is always more knowledge and wisdom to be gained through the pursuit of excellence and mastery.”

Gary Verigin DDS.

Learning has always been fundamental to our missions

It’s why our organization was founded in 1985 by Drs. Edward Arana and Gary Verigin. We focus on the HOW of biological dentistry – so you can provide your patients with comprehensive mouth/body care.

Certification shows that you have a well-defined knowledge base and understanding of treatment protocols in line with the broad concept of biological dentistry. The IABDM certification badge and terminology have the distinction of having applied and been approved to have the Registered Trademark ®. When a candidate becomes Certified through the IABDM, only then can they call themselves a Certified Biological Dentist ®, Certified Biological Hygienist ®, or Certified Biological Assistant ® Your certification badge stands as a kind of seal of approval and a badge of honor showing your dedication to growing your knowledge and expertise in the practice of biological dentistry.

Certification for Dentists

In addition to confirming your knowledge of biological dentistry, certification gets your profile placed in our online directory of biological dentists. We now list everyone, but the certified members come first.

Basic Certification (C-IABDM)

The first level of certification involves coursework, an online exam, and presentation of two amalgam removal cases to our education committee. Twenty-five (25) hours of PACE CE are available.

The exam is designed as a learning experience. Each question includes resources and reading materials to educate you in biological dentistry. Topics covered include homeopathy, meridians, basics of mercury removal, fluoride, and cavitations.

Certification Requirements

For the case presentation, the candidate will submit before/after and pre-op radiographic images at least 48 hours before their presentation. Word, PowerPoint or standard image formats (e.g., .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .png) are acceptable. The candidate and examiner will meet via Zoom, Skype, or other conferencing platform to discuss the case. Points to be covered include:

  • Pertinent medical history.
  • Dental status.
  • Your protocol for safe amalgam removal.
  • Any prep care you provide your patient.
  • Your office’s mercury-safe precautions.
  • Your own mercury hygiene activities (e.g., chelation, et al)
  • Health benefits that may have been attributable to the removal process.
