The mouth is the mirror to the rest of the body. At a time where general health is of upmost importance, early detection of systemic diseases through the mouth would allow for holistic dental care and improved treatment outcomes.

Boneprox ltd, most recently named company of the year in Sweden are leading one of the worlds biggest Ai research projects in dentistry. By assessing the bone density of the mandible in a radiograph, Boneprox has created a solution for identifying patients at risk of developing osteoporosis and osteopenia. Radiographs not only reveal dental disease, but can also give an insight into bone density, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This allows for dentists to work effectively with their medical colleagues in order to improve the health of their patients.

I believe that 80% of all dental treatment can be carried out by all GDPs. Dentists who choose to focus in one area make up the remaining 20% – it’s a question of balance and teamwork. I love a challenge and believe we all learn from our mistakes – it’s what makes us better each day. I am keen to build a community and share experiences – helping each other all the time.
