Well said! Incumbents in the space have a lot to gain from the status quo of "drill, fill, and bill". This has limited the adoption of new diagnostic technology and advances in preventive health. We hope to eventually replace observational screenings that detect the onset of irreversible symptoms with early detection and interventions that prevent disease altogether.

Are you guys familiar with Dr. Ellie Phillips? I'm definitely not a dental health expert, but she seems to be objective about how tooth decay occurs, see: https://drellie.com/2020/10/19/what-happens-to-teeth-when-yo...

I wonder if she'd have useful input on your product. Of course, she's trying to promote her own stuff (she sells Xylitol mints) but she also advocates for OTS treatments like Listerine.

I'm not familiar with her, but I agree she does seem objective and could have some useful input. We'll reach out.

Thanks for sending!
