Testimonials

As an integrative physician and expert in the oral systemic connection, I recognize exemplary educators when I find them. I have known Kriston Reisnour for over 5 years and have had many opportunities to hear her speak and consider her an authority in her field. She is one of the brightest, most experienced interdisciplinary oral health experts that I have ever come across.

Kriston has mastered the art of speaking from many platforms: small conference rooms, huge lecture halls, Zoom calls, and hands-on workshops-- as well as in full PPE chairside one-on-one with her patients. I have had the pleasure of joining her on stage, as well as watching her from the audience.

Not only is she exceedingly well received by her audience because of her knowledge, clarity, and bubbly personality, she is easy to work with, personable, and on-time with her pre-conference paperwork and slide presentations. Her depth of knowledge on a variety of topics ranging from oral hygiene to dental sleep medicine to myofunctional therapy to cardiovascular prevention is vast. This affords her the ability to craft a personal, professional, and entertaining message specifically tailored to her audience.

While in conference, she spends extra time listening to the other speakers and interacting with the attendees. Her speaking style is highly interactive, with frequent doses of humor. Her high energy, enthusiasm and passion for the oral systemic connection is contagious.

Feedback from attendees is consistently “off the charts” whether she is the keynote speaker, a panelist or part of an expert line up. I highly recommend hiring Kriston to help set the stage for any successful oral systemic conference. You and your audience will be educated and empowered with mind-altering knowledge to share for a lifetime of improved health.

Kriston Reisnour has presented at the Washington Dental Hygienist Associations annual symposium. She has presented on the BaleDoneen concept, inflammation in correlation to the oral systemic correlation. She presents her course with a command of the information and a palpable enthusiasm.

She not only coordinated her 6 1/2-hour course material for this year’s presentation, but she also coordinated a hands-on workshop with ACTEON that brought in five different workstations which presented five different pieces of new and relevant technology.

As the chair of the symposium, I not only hear the positive comments and praises of Kriston ‘s course but I also see their written comments on our evaluation forms.

“The course was exceptional!”
“Great speaker! Thanks.”
“This was an eye-opening course. I thought I was pro-active with patients. I’m excited about hygiene all over again to a new height. Thank You."
“Excellent course & loved the hands on with small groups”

Her course is spot on with nothing but evidence-based scientific proof of the systemic link between inflammation and heart attack and stroke risk and the role that oral health plays in their prevention and risk reduction. I highly recommend Kriston as a presenter at ADHA’s Center for Lifelong Learning.

A second person here who was privileged to hear Kriston Reisnour speak at the WDHA annual symposium. Phenomenal, you were absolutely in your element. I learned more in the first session than I had in months in school! Wrapped up so many things I've been wondering about. Definitely enjoying getting to know this system more and more. If you have the chance to see her speak, don't miss out. Hope you'll be back next year!
