About This Provider
Dr. Mark L. Cannon, DDS, MS founded Associated Dental Specialists of Long Grove in 1981 and has spent 40 years in pediatric dentistry. He holds a faculty appointment as Professor of Otolaryngology Division of Dentistry at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and serves as an Attending Physician at Ann and Robert Lurie Children's Hospital, where he also coordinates the Pediatric Dental residency program. These dual roles place him at the intersection of ongoing research and frontline clinical care for children. In 2016 and 2017, the Karolinska Institutet invited Dr. Cannon to present at the Nobel Forum and Nobel Assembly, recognition extended to a rare tier of clinician-scientists worldwide. He holds patents for biologic and bioactive dental materials and lectures internationally on evolutionary oral medicine, gateway microbiomes, and probiotic therapies in children's oral health. As Immediate Past President of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health, Dr. Cannon approaches pediatric dental care through a whole-body lens, connecting oral conditions to broader systemic health outcomes in ways most pediatric dentists are not trained to address.
