It’s time to rethink oral health as essential preventive care! Oral diseases are linked to dementia, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease – yet the sector remains underfunded.

At HBI2025, Dr Marco MAZEVET joined a panel with Sara Dalmasso from Straumann Group, Neil Carmichael from The Association of Dental Groups, Ángel Manotas from Alantra, Anni Seaborne from Bupa Dental Care UK, and Rakshitha Narasimhan from Healthcare Business International to explore why spending more on oral care could reduce overall healthcare costs.

Panellists noted strong tailwinds, including WHO advocacy for universal coverage and growing patient demand for healthier smiles. Consolidation continues, with innovation in digitalisation and AI enhancing efficiency across the value chain.
