 Greetings from AAOM President John Robinson, DDS, FAAOM

As President of the American Academy of Oral Medicine, I would like to welcome you to this website.

Oral medicine is that area of dentistry that addresses conditions that have medical characteristics affecting their management, including diseases of the oral mucosa, orofacial pain conditions, salivary gland disorders and taste disorders. It also addresses the dental management of people with medical problems that require special consideration, including people with complicated medical histories, the elderly, and patients who have or have had head and neck cancer.
