Where oral medicine meets global science.

The WWOM was born out of a transatlantic conversation in the mid-1980s between two visionaries — Professor David Mason in Glasgow and Professor H. Dean Millard in Michigan. What began as an idea to convene international oral medicine experts has grown into a global enterprise spanning 8 workshops, 7 countries, and 4 continents.

Vision

“To be an international oral medicine community committed to promoting and advancing high-quality patient care, research, and education in oral health.”

Mission

“Our mission is as ambitious as it is practical: to connect, enable, and inspire. We develop a global oral medicine network, facilitate rigorous collaborative research, champion evidence-based care, mentor emerging leaders, and work to elevate the specialty in countries where it is still finding its footing.”
