Dental health is intrinsically linked to overall health, and our society could benefit immensely if we all took better care of ourselves. Trust and responsibility are essential as we embrace recent technological advancements in a positive way.

Moreover, we must stand united against the ruthless practices of powerful pharmaceutical, food, and private health industries. It is crucial to identify a few reliable resources that we can follow with confidence.

Your data can be leveraged for your benefit. With your cooperation, dentistry can play a central role in delivering health benefits, even if it is excluded from OUR NHS. Together, we can make a meaningful impact.

This video is under a minute long, and I’ve “borrowed” Larson’s funny yet incisive cartoon. Humor is a great way to help people adopt a different mindset. However, with only four views on my Teeth4Life YouTube channel, which aims to raise awareness about mouth cancer and promote a longer, healthier life, I consider it a failure—perhaps because I didn’t add my voice.

For more laughs, visit the Teeth4Life YouTube channel Shorts and search for “Christmas.” All the videos are under a minute and feature my voice as an added bonus. They’re free and likely more valuable than anything you’ve already forgotten from Santa! My favorite is 11/12, as it includes the SMIFF test, which could improve your immunity—and maybe even your sex life, or at least the chance of having one.

If you or any family member has dentures, they can be scanned to create a digital impression prescription. This process is similar to obtaining duplicate glasses from Specsavers by sending your prescription online; your optician doesn’t need to fit them. You can also get a fresher set of false teeth in the same way, either by signing a disclaimer or through a relaxation in the 1984 Dental Act, which did not anticipate mobile phones and 3D printing.

Additionally, new partial dentures can be copied and made at a reduced cost by trained nurses who scan your mouth, with digital technicians designing and printing them. We need our regulatory bodies to catch up with the technology that has been available for over 30 years.

You can also order retainers, night guards, gum shields, and potentially anti-snoring devices from your scans, which will soon be used to help assess disease.

The person featured on the front is the renowned business professor Peter Drucker, who stated in the 1960s that our NHS was the envy of the world. However, by the 1970s, he described it as a complacent bureaucracy, noting that, unlike British Steel or British Leyland, it was considered too big to fail.

People often forget that when the NHS was established, nearly half of the cabinet members were former miners who had left education at the age of 14. Moreover, Nye Bevan resigned within four years due to the introduction of dental charges. At that time, having a nice smile often meant having teeth extracted and dentures fitted for wedding photos, which the NHS financed. Dentists thrived by delivering what people wanted.

Today’s government lacks a diverse cabinet influenced by a wide range of peers; instead, it is shaped more by the interests of food and pharmaceutical industries and their well paid lobbyists (influencers).

This situation raises important questions about our current state and the potential for improvement through thoughtful collaboration. Alternatively, instead of spending on Wegovy, we could return to the dental practices of the 1950s—as a result, you could achieve that classic wedding smile while also losing weight. It’s a potential win-win!

This proposal is currently under consideration by the NHS Health Innovation Platform. The idea is to utilize the free dental surgery space available in existing practices or in corporate practices that have failed to generate sufficient profits for their shareholders.

Trained dental nurses could take digital x-rays, scans, and photographs and use these through existing AI assessment tools. Soon, all three forms of digital data will be integrated to provide a more accurate assessment of patients, enabling care for those who are concerned about their health while directing those in need of treatment.

This initiative could be implemented within our NHS; it simply requires a straightforward contract signed by you stating, “I will not sue OUR NHS.” Additionally, it would allow for the application of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) to individuals with active decay until they can receive a permanent restoration or until the baby tooth falls out uneventfully.

This is the biggest barrier to affordable dental care. While all professions may complain about overregulation, the General Dental Council (GDC) primarily benefits itself. This reflects a long history of poor compliance by the GDC, which is a regulatory body that fails to serve the community effectively. Click on the picture for an assessment from March 2025. It negatively affects all our wellbeing.

Highly paid qualified dentists who do not practice dentistry earn more by employing legal teams to promote frivolous negligence claims because it’s easier for our defense organisations to settle. They generally get two thirds of the settlement. It’s important to recognise that poor outcomes do not equate to poor treatment. As dentistry progressed in the 40’s, the airline industry also faced challenges but adopted an open policy to publicise and address problems as a collective, unlike health systems that often focus on scapegoating individuals to protect their brand.

It is far more profitable and comfortable for the health sector to provide cosmetic treatments that people want, rather than to focus on delivering essential healthcare services the majority need, and approach with anxiety and trepidation and unreasonable expectations.

We all have a role to play in maintaining a health service. A straightforward and unambiguous NHS dental contract, as promoted by a prominent dental advisor, could be framed as “I will not sue OUR NHS.”

Personally, I think dental nurses should be given access to schools to encourage and treat up to the age of 18. After that you, it’s up to you. No one has weak teeth, they have poor habits, exacerbated by excessive adictive unhealthy UPF, and UPDs.

If you intend to sue, at least pay privately. We all pay into OUR NHS. You are only removing the funding to treat someone who has an unfortunate non preventable disease.
