Took my son to the dentist this week - just a routine check-up. Whilst sat there trying to understand what my son was saying to me with the dentists tools in his mouth it struck me how quietly (unlike my son) advanced dentistry has become. Behind the friendly chat and the rinse and spit, there’s a lot of data at work. AI now helps dentists read x-rays faster and spot decay earlier. Predictive tools flag who’s most likely to miss appointments or develop issues down the track.
