Dental As AnythingWho profits from healthcare?Dentistry is a $12 billion a year industry and growing, making it a valuable target for private equity investment. But what are the implications for patients when others seek to profit from healthcare?A recent article in the Australian Financial Review reported large dental chain Dental Boutique had appointed Morgan Stanley and Gilbert + Tobin to sell their business. It is part of a growing trend both here in Australia and internationally for the consolidation and corporatisation of healthcare businesses, and in particular for private equity funds to buy into healthcare.But is raises some important questions...2025-07-1721 min
Dental As AnythingTrust me, I'm a dentist ...Trust is essential to the normal function of society, yet it is perhaps not something that we spend a lot of time thinking about until it’s gone. Long term data on trusted professions shows that dentists rank in the top 5 – behind nurses, doctors, pharmacists and teachers, although trust has been declining since peaking in 2017.In this episode of the Dental As Anything podcast, we discuss the important issue of trust - what it is, why it’s important and why we are seeing a gradual erosion of trust - in individuals and institutions. Rebuilding trust...2025-07-0321 min
Dental As AnythingCommercial determinants of oral healthIn this episode of the Dental as Anything podcast I talk about our new paper Oral Health Meets Commercial Determinants: An Opportunity to Bridge Individual and Structural Approaches published this week in the Australian Dental Journal with colleagues from the University of Sydney and Deakin University. We highlight the role of structural and commercial factors, operating outside an individual's control, that drive the high prevalence of oral disease and inequities at a population level, and argue that dental practitioners must also consider the broader commercial forces which contribute to oral disease in order to make meaningful steps...2025-07-0221 min

They come off the back of a series of stories, and no doubt complaints and notifications, regarding cosmetic procedures and the compassionate release of superannuation.In this episode of the Dental as Anything podcast I talk...2025-06-0622 min
Dental As AnythingDifficult conversationsWhat do we do when a dental practitioner breaks the trust of patients? Should we discuss that within the profession? What happens when those cases are picked up by the media and talked about in the public sphere? Should we engage in the discussion or try and shut it down.In this episode of the Dental as Anything podcast I talk about the vexed issue of the early release of superannuation, over-servicing, the role of the media in reporting stories of interest, and how the dental profession should respond.2025-05-1519 min
Dental As AnythingHealth is political: the role of research and advocacyHealth is inherently political . Like any resource or commodity in our neo-liberal economic system, some social groups have more of it than others. We also know that the social and commercial determinants of health – more than just individual behaviours – are amendable to political interventions.In this episode of the Dental as Anything podcast I talk about the history of expanding Medicare to include more dental services, the broader support and advocacy for schemes such as Senior Dental Benefits Scheme and the important role of research in supporting advocacy efforts.References:Australian dental practitioner atti...2025-05-0136 min
Dental As AnythingEthics of Water FluoridationWe often talk about the pros and cons of water fluoridation through the lens of benefits versus the risk of harm. But it's also important to understand the broader public health ethical considerations.Last month, Utah became the first state in the USA to ban fluoride in public drinking water and just last week a local mayor in Florida vetoed a county decision to remove fluoride, pushing back a little against a vote that seemed more about politics than health. In Australia we recently saw Cook Shire Council in far north Queensland also vote to cease water...2025-04-1722 min

And how much is that a factor that contributes to the higher burden of disease we see in regional and rural communities?In 2023, 74.3% of the population lived in major cities across Australia, and dentists disproportionately work in these areas.

Dental As AnythingMain character syndromeHow do we know if we are suffering from main character syndrome? Or even have strong narcissistic tendencies. And what impact might that have on the provision of patient care?
Main character syndrome. We’ve all experienced it, even if you’ve never heard the term before. You’re driving to work when another driver – completely oblivious to the traffic around them – casually merges into your lane without indicating, causing you to brake suddenly to avoid an accident. Entitled. Selfish.

And medical practitioners are also prescribing antibiotics for dental problems. But how many of those prescriptions are actually necessary, and are we contributing to antimicrobial resistance.
This week is World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week, a global campaign to raise awareness and understanding of AMR and promote best practices to reduce the emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections. Antimicrobial resistance is already affecting the care of patients, and current trends

Dental As AnythingWhat does a Trump presidency mean for oral health?During the US presidential election campaign, Robert Kennedy Junior tweeted that a Trump White House would advise all US water systems to remove fluoride from public
water supplies. Trump has previously indicated that Kennedy would likely have an influential health role in his administration. Now that the election outcome is clear, should the dental profession be concerned about this threat to water fluoridation?
Already we have seen two Australian politicians – LNP Senator Matt Canavan and UAP Senator Ralph Babet make statements questioning water fluoridation. Babet went so far as to say that he would ban fluoride from al...2024-11-0720 min
Dental As AnythingOn the frontline of Australia’s paediatric dentistry crisisNew data from the Australian Institute of health and Welfare has highlighted that there has been an increase in the number of preventable hospital admissions as a result of dental problems over the past year, and the highest rate was amongst children aged 5-9 years. Yet paediatric dentists are having their access to general anaesthetic lists cut because they are no longer profitable for hospitals. The current system of funding hospital activity does not reflect the complexity and duration of paediatric dental procedures. Private hospitals will receive around $900 for a dental procedure, regardless of the length of time, but...2024-10-2440 min
Dental As AnythingTackling commercial drivers of poor healthHow much sugary drinks do you consume? Is it more or less than the average Australian? And do you know the harm that it’s doing – not just to your dental health, but to your overall health as well.
In Australia, teenagers are consuming 60 grams (15 teaspoons) of added sugar per day, with 1 in 6 consuming more than 130 grams (33 teaspoons). That is well in excess of the upper limit of 24 grams (6 teaspoons) per day that the evidence says is necessary to minimise the risk of tooth decay. Around one third of that added sugar is coming from sugary drinks, which...2024-10-1124 min

Dental As AnythingThey took our jobs ...Are you a Luddite? Do you know the origins of the term? It might surprise you to know that the original Luddites opposed the automation of textiles and weaving jobs during the industrial revolution. They weren’t opposed to the technology as much as they were concerned about the impact on their jobs. And they foresaw the disruption that has rippled through many industries since then, as automation has taken jobs and made them redundant.

New laws have come into effect across Australia now to protect the rights of workers to disconnect from work and switch off in their own time.
In this episode of the Dental As Anything podcast we look at the history of ‘right to disconnect’ laws, the influence of the industrial revolution and the importance for both employees and employers in ensuring that they understand the new changes.2024-08-3022 min
Dental As AnythingAre Health Stars making us healthier?Are Health Stars making us healthier? That’s the intent behind those little star ratings that you find on food and drinks in the supermarket and convenience stores. The Health Star Rating system was introduced as a voluntary scheme in 2014 to try and tackle a slew of diet related diseases including obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. So it’s worth reflecting on whether they are actually meeting their objective or not, 10 years down the track. And if not – then why, what are we doing wrong, and what do we need to do to fix it?

Dental As AnythingTackling poverty to improve oral healthWhat can we – as dental practitioners and advocates – really do to tackle the social and commercial determinants of health? And is it even our role to do so. In the previous episode of the Dental As Anything podcast I argued that poor oral health was as much a social issue as it was a dental issue. In this episode we explore some of these social issues, focusing on poverty and income equality, and look at the impact of unconditional cash transfers in improving health and wellbeing.2024-08-0230 min
Dental As AnythingIs poor oral health a dental issue or a social issue?Is poor oral health a dental issue or a social issue? Is the solution to reducing increasing rates of tooth decay and periodontal disease found within the four walls of the dental clinic, or is there a need to step back and consider this as a social problem as well?
In this episode of Dental As Anything, I talk about the inverse care law, how that plays out in the maldistribution of the oral health workforce, and the important role dental practitioners have in tackling the social causes of dental disease.2024-07-1921 min
Dental As AnythingUsing artificial intelligence for clinical recordsArtificial intelligence tools are expanding into all areas of health practice, and clinical notes provide an opportunity for efficiencies - but it's important to be aware of the risks.
In this episode I speak to Bree Jones from Melbourne University about the use of artificial intelligence in writing health records. What does it mean to summarise information? How accurate will that AI summary mean? Do you know the best way to ask the right questions to ensure the most accurate summary - a skill known as prompt engineering. Is there a risk of bias in the way...2024-07-0534 min
Dental As AnythingFood for thought - do your investments contribute to the burden of disease?You wouldn't invest in tobacco companies, but would you invest in fast food and sugary drinks, knowing the harms they cause?
In this episode of Dental As Anything I pose the question of whether health practitioners should invest in companies that cause harm and contribute to the stream of patients coming through our doors. Should making greater investment returns come at the expense of public health? Does this blur the lines between our personal and professional identities?2024-06-2118 min
Dental As AnythingYour time starts now – life lessons from the MasterChef kitchenThere are many parallels between the pressure cooker environment of the MasterChef kitchen and a dental practice. So it shouldn't be surprising that there are valuable lessons that could be useful. Although it’s been nearly 10 years since I was on the show, it sometimes feels like it was just yesterday. I often reflect on the experiences over that 5 month period – because the more I look back, the more I realise how much the lessons from the MasterChef kitchen have helped to influence and shape who I am today.

Dental As AnythingBudget relief for dentistsIn a span of only 30 years, the cost of a dental education has gone from zero to anywhere from $60,000 to $430,000. With inflation running hot over the past few years, many graduates are seeing their debt increasing. Fortunately a recent budget decision will provide some relief for those with an outstanding student debt.

Dental As AnythingDentists – physicians of the mouth, or glorified carpenters?Being a competent dental practitioner is about much more than just surgical skills, and it is important that we focus more broadly on our role as physicians of the mouth.
Dental education, like any form of education, is a beginning and not an end. It starts the journey, equipping graduates with knowledge and skills that can then be built on, and indeed must be built on, over time. It also equips them to adapt as the profession changes and adapts.

Dental As AnythingDo we have too many dentists? It depends where you live.There have been many dire predictions of an oversupply of dentists over the past decade, but do we in fact have too many dentists? Let's find out in this episode of the Dental As Anything podcast, where Matt discusses the issues of workforce supply and demand. This is particularly relevant as advocacy ramps up in the push to increase government funding for dental programs such as a Senior Dental Benefits Scheme.
2024-03-2838 minDental As AnythingThe ethics of artificial intelligenceArtificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms will play an increasingly important role in dental practice, and there is no escaping that inevitability. But it is not without risk. Alongside efficiencies in the way that dentistry is practised, there are concerns about over-diagnosing, data security and privacy, the use by third parties and direct-to-consumer applications, and on the wellbeing of dental practitioners. This week Matt is again joined by Dr Max Ganhewa to discuss some of these ethical issues that impact on how artificial intelligence will be used in dentistry.2024-03-1427 minDental As AnythingHow will artificial intelligence change dentistry?Is artificial intelligence going to change the way you practise dentistry? According to this week’s guest Dr Max Ganhewa, the answer is a resounding yes.
Machine learning algorithms are able to detect dental caries and periodontal disease by assessing radiographs.There is an opportunity to improve treatment decisions too, and this information might help guide patients to assess options as part of the informed consent process. And artificial intelligence could simplify the process of creating dental record entries and automate some of the back office business process in a dental practice.
In this episode of...2024-03-0744 minDental As AnythingIf in doubt, fill ... dogma, myths and clinical judgement in caries management.This week Matt is joined by Dr Tim Keys, a specialist paediatric dentist whose research looked at clinical caries management.
When do we make a decision to intervene restoratively? And perhaps more importantly, how do we make that decision? Is there a gap between the evidence and how clinicians actually practice? In a thought provoking episode, Tim challenges us to explore the current evidence and consider a more preventive approach.
2024-02-2945 minDental As AnythingPublic dental funding lacks teeth, but is change coming?This week Matt talks about public funding in the context of dental service provision across both the public and private sectors. Did you know that $1 in every $5 spent on dental care in Australia comes from the public purse? With the possibility of reform coming off the back of a Senate inquiry into dental services, it’s important for all dental practitioners to be aware of the reasons that change might be coming.

This week Matt Hopcraft is joined by Dr Jodie Heap, a clinical dentist and social theorist to talk about ethics and professionalism. Where do our ethics come from, and does it matter? Is it enough that we focus on ‘doing no harm,’ or is there more to being a health professional? And are our ethics fixed and immutable, or are they at risk of changing? Jodie explores these issues and more during this episode. 2024-02-0842 min

Michael has just co-edited a special supplement on mouthwashes in the International Dental Journal, which forms the basis of the discussion for this episode.
