What biological dentistry is and how it connects oral health to systemic disease

Biological dentistry is an approach to oral healthcare that views the teeth, gums, and jaw as part of an interconnected biological system, where dental materials, infections, and procedures can influence systemic health through immune, neurological, and inflammatory pathways. That definition captures a shift that is still under-recognised in mainstream care. Conventional dentistry has historically focused…

What are AI health assistants and how do they work?

A new category is emerging at the intersection of artificial intelligence, wearable technology, and digital health: the AI health assistant. For years, digital health tools focused on collecting data. Fitness trackers counted steps. Smartwatches measured heart rate. Health apps logged sleep or nutrition. The missing piece was interpretation. AI health assistants aim to fill that…
