AI Technology, health optimisation, 2023 is happening at Paste Dental Belfast!

So we all hear about AI technology, self-driving cars, machine learning, robots taking over the world, the fear lol

Let’s set that aside for one moment and really try to come to terms with the unbelievable time we are living in and the technology that can revolutionise our lives and in particular our health!

In 2023 Paste is really putting a firm focus on health optimisation.

Not another buzz word?!

Honestly hear us out, health optimisation is basically letting you take ownership and control of your own health. You may be doing this already and don’t realise! Do you wear an Apple Watch or a Fit Bit?

Tracking your steps, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, these are all forms of objective data that let you build up a picture of your wellness and health with real-time data, focus and measurability!

So where does this fit into dentistry?

At Paste dental Belfast we were so fortunate to partner with Pearl AI, an unbelievably innovative tech company from the US, using machine learning to let us pull accurate measurable data regarding dental caries.

Using the routine radiographs we take in a dental clinic, we now have the amazing ability to pull objective data, showing exactly where carious lesions are present, the size, extent and the proportional location by percentage in tooth enamel and dentine.

This is a game changer for us! Providing not just our clinical assessment, but an impartial data driven assessment pulling objective measurable data that you can see and learn from.

Building a treatment plan from this foundation allows you to take full control of your dental health, being presented with the objective facts and then deciding based on the data, indeed how you want to proceed.

You are in control, you have the data and the facts and you then can make educated decisions about your own health, health optimisation and preventative strategy to future proof your dental health going forward.

We have been one od the first practices in the UK to trial and embrace this technology and have been fully supported by the Pearl AI team in maximising it’s clinical outcomes for our patients at Paste Dental.

Cosmetic dentistry in Belfast is growing in popularity, but at Paste we firmly believe that sound dental health remains our primary focus, before we layer complex cosmetic solutions such as composite bonding or a full smile makeover on top. We want any dental treatment provided by Paste, to respects your own health, to give long term results and to be easily maintained by you.

We look forward to taking the objective data further in 2023 and are currently exploring how we can pull objective data in the areas of periodontal and gum health, oral cancer and oral microbiology.

2023 is looking like an exciting year, so come join us on the journey and take control of your oral health with the help of the team at Paste!
