Dr. Mike Milligan

Dr. Milligan graduated first in his class from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in 1978. Since graduation he has accumulated over 2200 hours of post-graduate continuing dental education. Dr. Milligan owns and maintains Eastland Dental Center, a large high-quality multi-doctor dental practice in Bloomington, Illinois, in which he practices golden rule dentistry – the core philosophy that he will treat his patients the way he wants his own family treated.

Dr. Milligan built Eastland Professional Suites, a 26,000 foot professional building where his current 3000 sq. ft. dental office resides, and sold the other suites as condominiums to surgeons, ENTs, dermatologists, and audiologists.

Dr. Milligan has been owner and CEO of Scientific Health Products, LLC, and of Dental Health Products, Inc, which he began “to advance oral and overall health through science.”

Dr. Milligan was instrumental in bringing to the dental profession two highly effective products for oral sores: Viroxyn for cold sores (oral herpes) which usually manifest outside the mouth on the lips, and Debacterol for canker sores (aphthous ulcers) on the oral mucosa inside the mouth.

Dr. Milligan was Chief Investigator of a groundbreaking study: “The Effects of a Nutritional Supplement on Periodontal Health and Antioxidant Levels” for a billion dollar nutritional company.

He created and was chairperson of the advisory committee of DentalNutrition.com. He was one of the early speakers and authors on the Oral-Systemic Link, which is now mainstream and discussed in nearly every health publication produced today, and is a founding member of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health.

Dr Milligan created Dental Mastermind Group to “help dentists succeed,” with its incredible online resource for dentists DentalMastermindGroup.com. He is on the Advisory Board of MouthWatchers, a company with revolutionary new products for oral hygiene.

Dr. Milligan has authored articles, contributed to articles, and/or lectured on a variety of dental topics to groups nationwide including Excellence in Dentistry, the Crown Council, 1000 Gems, Kisco Dental, The Richards Report, the Madow Brothers Monthly, Dental Equipment and Materials, Dental Economics, and others.

Napoleon Hill, in his world renowned book “Think and Grow Rich,” the business bible for millions of highly successful people, says:

A “Master Mind” may be defined as: “Coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.”

He also says “Men and women take on the nature and the habits, and the power of those with whom they associate.”

I believe our patients trust us, and we MUST have the personal integrity to provide high quality care in return.

Once we get into practice we also learn that about 85% of our success in our dental practice is all the other things like communication skills, relationships, customer service, teamwork, leadership – and all the personal development and business success principles that we were never taught in dental school.

With Dental Mastermind Group we want to create a unique environment that combines the input of all our members with the top thought leaders in dentistry.

We care about what we do and we’re grateful for what we have. We want to share and learn with others so we all benefit together.
