About Dr. Lee:
Third-generation dentist in rural Edna, Tx
Retired, after five decades of clinical dentistry and is now writing,
teaching, ranching, and being with kids and grandkids.
Deeply trained in CR dentistry with LD Pankey, Pete Dawson, and John
Kois who all became personal friends. His first dental epiphany was
at the Pankey Institute in 1977.
His grandfather’s records from 1928 told a story of treating
periodontal disease as an infection, cleaning the area (SRP), using an
antimicrobial, teaching the patient how to keep it clean, and letting
the body heal itself. Mac took the antimicrobial his grandfather used,
changed the name, got FDA approval, and then sold it through Premier
Dental.
That same philosophy led Mac to the father of non-surgical perio, Dr.
Paul Keyes. They worked together on several programs. At the same
time, then famous Dr. Earl Estepp traveled to Mac's office to watch
the procedure and philosophy. It changed Earl's concept of clinical
dentistry. He made sure that Dr. Lee got on the road and shared his
knowledge.
In 1990, he quit his perio seminars to be a co-founder of Dental Boot
Camp, a seminar that changed the dental world in North America. That
lasted for seven years. Pete Dawson became a semi-business partner of
DBC. Dr. Dawson sent his lab man to Mac’s office to personally walk
him through a full mouth reconstruction on Joleen Jackson (who sold
hundreds of thousands of dollars of Pete’s Perfect Byte computer
program). The case was beautiful but never comfortable; she was
over-closed.
After Dental Boot Camp, he and Joleen wrote “Nothin’ Personal Doc, But
I Hate Dentists!” a dental educational book for the layperson. The
book caught the eye of Dr. Mehmet Oz. Mac became a consultant and a
guest for Oz’s Second Opinion series on The Discovery Channel and
later on Oprah radio with Oz. He also consulted for Oz’s three YOU
Health Books. Things quickly changed when the Dr. Oz show was aired.
The first time Mac told the producer Oz’s information was wrong, he
got no response. On the second negative email to the producer, he was
100% shut off from anything Oz.
Using all this experience, he and Joleen became in-house consultants
to some of the most successful practices in North America. Their
expertise was patient communication. Most of these successful offices
called themselves Neuromuscular dentists.
His second dental epiphany was seeing the mouth through a totally
different set of eyes. This led to me becoming a Regent for the
International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics and to his
Amazon book, The Life Robbing Pain of TMD; Why Me?
He redid Joleen’s FMR to a more comfortable and beautiful position
