The best oral health insights and developments, like those of Claude Hopkins, are not from dentists. Around seven years ago, Sheila Scott surveyed the public about their primary concern when visiting the dentist. What do you think it was?

Cancer is the top concern, and this is the funding I'm trying to access. The closing date is May 24. I failed 😤
While any DCP can customise the App, it's for the user who can personalise it and engage with the content. The videos support your message and help educate the public we see and those we don't.

Registering on the App will support any future bid, as it's a requirement for this competition. The problem when deciding on a product for the Future is there is no data or evidence. We are not asking for billions, just enough to develop it further to have a quick referral pathway to NHS secondary care.
What are the advantages of an eHealth product for you?
1. Saves time by delivering your specific advice differently.
2. Markets you and your services 24/7, with timely reminders
3. FREE professional online presence for the majority of DCPs.
Promoting teeth4life to the public will save lives, as well as teeth. We may not know how many and which ones.

The App has a traffic light screening system for oral health and one for Oral Cancer. This eHealth product is available now—those we see, and this we don't. We can help the public now.
To see some screenshots of App expand the screen, put some videos on landscape, and pause and rewind. The end of the CDO video below endorses why I've mainly used video for the teeth4life App. I outline the core service, as recommended by the CDO, with my peer review group in the last video on this page. Please look elsewhere on this teeth4life.org.uk website. Prevention can pay, but not for dentistry in the current NHS system.

This is a summery of the CDO talk, and how she proposed a Core Service. It also explains how we can improve our NHS with no extra funding🤔
This label is at my local pharmacy, next to the interdental brushes; it's similar to part of the CDO's lecture at the last BDA conference. Is the information something you would endorse?
While a bit long, at 28 minutes, but if you register yourself on the App you could award yourself some CPD. The evidence would be a screenshot of your profile. This video signposts some of the resources I have used. Some of the references may be of value to you and encourage your ideas to improve this product and your career enjoyment. Your survey input would help with the data, but your feedback elsewhere on this website would be more valuable for us.
Some of the videos in the App are also available on the teeth4life Youtube channel. The BYTE playlist combines animations and graphics I have made, plus more recently freely available clips.
Please subscribe to the YouTube channel, as it will help engage the public to use the App. It should act as a funnel to the App for the public, but it needs subscribers and some help with SEO.
This is how we can improve our profile , and engage the public.
I would recommend setting up a peer review network for any of you who want to learn and enjoy your career. Dentists used to get paid for peer review, and when that was cut, many stopped doing them. Not everything needs funding. One of the best meetings was on mindfulness based on the free Future Learn course. How is your mental health? These informal meetings with colleagues were the best ways we learn and support one another.
We ran this event as there is little interest from HEE. The AI these scanners use to treatment plan your adult orthodontics cases, and your VOLKS crowns, will diagnose decay and potentially oral cancer. As a DCP we will just be responsible for any poor outcomes, not the programmers who designed the software.
I started this during Covid. I had been a trainer for twenty years, and each year the FDs had less experience, which made our role as trainers more difficult. Then following Covid, we now have FDs that haven't carried out a single root canal, which may be adequate for the current NHS system, but not an adequate dental service. This is to help us, but no dental school seems willing to share their resources. We can do better. Who would decide on the bronze or gold, or can we return to "dentally fit" for an RDO? It may help reduce the overworked dental "expert" witnesses and reduce our stress levels.
This is an example of how the software has helped improve the video content. There are a few on the BPE that I made for Instagram.
Most of my videos can be downloaded from teeth4life Youtube. There are instructions on how to modify them on this website. Add your own voice, which would undoubtedly be more engaging to your patients.
If a peer review group can decide on the text for a video for under two minutes, then we could make it. Currently, all the videos follow the current delivering better oral health toolkit updated in September 2019.

There is no real money available for NHS dentistry. It is failing us all.
We are in a powerful position to support it through this eHealth product.
Teeth4life isn't the finished product. It will never be finished and, like most Apps, be improved and regularly updated.
With your help, it will improve and be of value for us and the general public.

Do you have time to explain the BPE? or the BEWE when the children's scores are worse than their parents?
People are aware of the importance of BP and BMI, which they can monitor themselves and we can at the practice. They can't measure their BPE.

Central funding will enable the App to be in any language, enable teledentistry for cancer screening utilising other innovations and pathways under development, a history for the user, and further modification of templates by dental practices.
Why wait? This eHealth product is available now. We can engage the public now by promoting ourselves through the App, and the public sharing it from the home page via their social media.
When the teledentistry and language facility are available, they will be an App update, just as we all have noticed with our banking Apps.

This explains how to add yourself to the App via your mobile phone.
I added a £10 fee for dentists from March 1. I need 100 to sign up to maintain the Apps viability in its current form.
It's free for All other DCPs with 3 fixed services.
For dentists, it is preloaded with 20 services to save time. Delete the ones you don't want, and add your own. To see the services they are on my virtual practice. From the App, type in Bristol in My Dentist, then locate me in Teeth4life.
Further instructions for different DCPS and your feedback are on this teeth4life.org.uk website.

Why do we need a new platform?
I made this video over two years ago before I retired. All the images except one were with the software, and AI used the text.
Can you guess my observation?
This is the translation.
The current version will not support the AI.
AI could add your voice to all the videos in a few years or possibly now.
Empathy reduces litigation, which reduces stress.
This is a longer video based on a presentation on prevention through the teeth4life App I gave in 2019 at a dental show.
I made it as a webinar on zoom, which didn't seem familiar terms before covid. Some of the App details have changed, but the information on how to market yourself and embed it with your current dental practice software are current.
The slides on how to do this are on the care4teeth.co.uk registration site, which is a lot more concise than this website concerning making the App work for you and your practice.
This gives some background. I was too supportive of the NHS. I went to the Kevin Lewis lectures on making a PDU through the NHS. After that, about thirty years ago, I then went to another course where I had to sign an NDA for how some dentist made the NHS work. I feel that younger dentists don't invest into their own practice, as they observed the stress of their trainers.
I also went to the first Denplan meeting in Bath, I didn't think it appropriate to my patient base, or core values.

Many smaller dental practices quietly keep their head down and provide excellent service. Some have been more vocal with their message. Simon Gallier has handed back his million pound NHS contact to deliver a better service for the community. It may be the support you need, and now with the evidence. His details are on the video.
This was made two years ago. It includes NEWS.
Our peer review group had a meeting with a GP who had suffered from sepsis. We also had a meeting with the consultant who treated my friend's oral cancer.It's why we need to promote monthly checks.
NEWS is the National Early Warning Score developed in 2012 and trialled in the West of England in 2015. With digital technology improvements, you could get a score while waiting to see your dentist.
If you are interested, please get in touch. This is a bit of my career path to add authenticity to clarify aspects of dental care that worry me.
As I have been in front of the GDC and have solicitors' letters from two dental corporates, I must be doing something right.
After forty years, I have made many mistakes, and we should learn from them. The concerns I raised that created my day out to the GDC and corporate threats I would make again. When it comes down to the Health Business, health should come first, which is our employers' responsibility. In the CDO talk, her last slide was on where to access help for our mental health. If the business was well run, the evidence shows we wouldn't need it. Prevention does pay.
This solution may not be possible for everyone, but we need to make more noise. My generation should have done more to develop a service that moved on from the drill and fill mentality from when I started.
This is my attempt. With your collaboration, it could be ours or at least lead to something valuable for us and the public.
I always get a good audience when I'm out cycling. With this audience, I start talking to one individual, and when the others notice them listening, they all come over.
