Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S.,F.A.G.D. shared thisEver feel like you are spinning your wheels and going nowhere? Feeling a bit like that now after seeing this P&G study that says only 3% of Americans are aware of the role that less than optimal oral health plays in systemic diseases like Dementia, Heart Disease, Diabetes and others. https://lnkd.in/gV_b-rpHNew Survey from P&G and American Academy of Family Physicians Reveals 76% of Americans Say They Care About Their Oral Health, But When Polled, Only 3% of Americans Associate Oral Health with Whole Body HealthNew Survey from P&G and American Academy of Family Physicians Reveals 76% of Americans Say They Care About Their Oral Health, But When Polled, Only 3% of Americans Associate Oral Health with Whole Body Health

Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S.,F.A.G.D. shared thisWhen Andreessen Horowitz talks (invests) in a Dental company, people listen.Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S.,F.A.G.D. shared thisExcited to announce Andreessen Horowitz is leading Lassie’s Series A! (Alastair (Alex) Rampell) Lassie is building AI that can run small businesses - starting in dental. They're already generating more than $10M in annualized revenue, and helping 700+ practices. Lassie CEO Steijn Pelle was inspired to work on this problem by his dentist - who he processed payments for (by hand!) to learn about the problem. Steijn's background at Robinhood + Coinbase and Frédéric Renken's experience at Superhuman + Uber make them the perfect duo for this. This exemplifies how the Lassie team builds product - spending months going deep with the customer before they even write a line of code. This also differentiates Lassie from a generic model. Lassie does the work - matching insurance claims to payments, and posting to the ledger. We couldn't be more excited to work with the Lassie team as they help small business owners spend more time on what they love, and less time on busy work.

Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S.,F.A.G.D. shared thisPaper claims and checks are out. Electronic EOBs and EFTs and Lassie are in. Goodbye hours and hours of tedious manual labor and hello to repurposing clerical admin staff to other more productive clinical work.Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S.,F.A.G.D. shared thisToday, we're introducing Lassie and $47M in funding led by a16z. We're building AI that runs small businesses, starting with doctors' offices. Lassie is already trusted by 700+ practices across the country, working autonomously to provide them with 30 hours of labor per month. To get here, we first had to leave Robinhood and Superhuman to work in offices ourselves. Here's how that went.

Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S.,F.A.G.D. shared thisHad a blast today continuing the discussion on my work on the oral-systemic connection with my good friend John Flucke, host of The Technology Evangelist Podcast. I'll share the link when the talk is available.Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S.,F.A.G.D. shared thisI've been busy at work on The Technology Evangelist Podcast lately. Just wrapped up the second recording today. This one is special for a couple reasons. The first is because it's with my good friend Dr. Ed Zuckerberg and the other is because Dr. Zuckerberg is the first guest to appear on the pod *twice*. He and I spoke at the end of November last year and he was gracious enough to put up with me again. Since he stepped away from clinical practice he's become deeply immersed into the topic of the "Oral Systemic" connection. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say he's one of the world's most knowledgeable doctors on the subject. Our first episode was great and we continued that in this episode with a look at p. gingivalis, salivary diagnostics, and some of the leading edge companies he's advising that aren't yet on the market. Ed gets a chance to see a lot of "behind the scenes" products, especially those in the periodontal category and you'll want to hear about them. You can find The Technology Evangelist Podcast on your favorite podcast app. Thanks to the good folks at Medidenta for sponsoring this endeavor. I couldn't do it without them! #TechnologyEvangelist #Medidenta #podcast

Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S.,F.A.G.D. shared thisAmen! The ball is rolling forward.Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S.,F.A.G.D. shared thisCMS just quietly did what dentistry has been asking for, for decades. On January 1, 2026, they added MIPS Improvement Activity IA_PM_28: "𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲." Primary care physicians can now earn Medicare quality credit for: → Oral health screening on intake forms → Intraoral screenings during primary care visits → Building dental referral networks → Referring patients without a dental home → Documenting oral health findings in the EHR Read that list again. Screenings. Risk assessment. Referral networks. Documentation. That is the same playbook CMS uses for 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙨, 𝙢𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨. They put oral health in MIPS alongside diabetes management and tobacco cessation, and told primary care physicians: 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄. Commercial payers have historically followed CMS on quality measurement. When CMS defined value-based care, commercial plans followed. When CMS expanded telehealth, private insurers followed within months. If CMS considers oral health a measurable component of primary care quality, it becomes very difficult for the rest of the system to argue it isn't 🤔 To me, this is a welcome catalyst which paves the way for what's to follow. A big win for the oral health advocates out there 🙌 #dentistryasmedicine #medicaldentalintegration #healthcarepolicy #oralhealth Toothsome American Dental Association Dr. Brett Kessler Norman Kwong, MBA Ben Youel Anita Duhl Glicken Norman Volsky🎙️ 🏥 📉 Dean Jargo Matthew Lormand Jeremy Jonckheere Jay Kempton Nelson Griswold Thomas Schlieve Carolyn Brown, DDS Samantha Strain

Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S.,F.A.G.D. shared thisThe holy grail of periodontal therapy would be the regeneration of lost periodontal bone, not just 3-walled defects, we've been doing that for almost my entire career, but vertical regeneration of lost bone interproximally and in furcations. Oral Biolife has already demonstrated that their product, Ambrilux gel, can do exactly that in dogs and human trials will be happening soon.Edward J. Zuckerberg, D.D.S.,F.A.G.D. shared thisSqueeze it, and it sparks ✨ Oral Biolife Inc. has created the first piezoelectric regenerative platform for bone formation, but how does it work? Certain materials generate an electric charge when mechanical pressure is applied. The piezoelectric effect is everywhere you look: 🦴 In the human body, in bones and tendons ⌚ In electronics, like watches and microphones 🦷 In dentistry, in piezo scalers and endodontic files It has proven safe and effective in dentistry for the past 30+ years. Now, OBL is harnessing the power of piezoelectricity to usher in a new era of dental care. After Ambrilux Dental Gel™ is applied, simple mechanical movements you make every day, like talking and chewing, create an electric charge to stimulate bone repair. The technology is groundbreaking, and we're only just beginning.

Great starting point but once you see the savings in time and $$ that they realize you will want to go back to existing practices as well.

For years, a technology may exist primarily in the lab, supported by promising data, careful research, and rigorous development. But once it reaches first-in-human studies, the focus shifts from what could work to what does work in real-world clinical settings. This stage marks an important transition. Researchers gain critical insights into safety, feasibility, patient experience, and clinical performance that can only be understood through human evaluation. While first-in-human milestones often generate excitement, they're also a reminder that innovation is a process, not a single event. Progress in healthcare is built through careful validation, continuous learning, and a commitment to translating scientific potential into meaningful patient outcomes. The journey doesn't end at first-in-human. In many ways, that's where it truly begins. #ClinicalResearch #HealthcareInnovation #MedTech #Biotechnology #TranslationalScience #PatientCare

A breakthrough can demonstrate promising results in the lab. It can generate excitement among researchers and clinicians. It can even show the potential to improve patient outcomes. But translating innovation into real-world impact requires much more than scientific success. It requires navigating regulatory pathways. Securing funding. Generating clinical evidence. Educating providers. Building trust. Supporting adoption. And ultimately ensuring that new technologies can reach the patients who may benefit from them. Innovation is often portrayed as a single breakthrough moment. In reality, it's a long process of validation, collaboration, and persistence. At Oral Biolife, we're inspired by the potential of innovation to improve patient care, but we also recognize that meaningful progress happens when science moves beyond the lab and into clinical practice. The science may spark the idea. But bringing that idea into everyday healthcare is where the real work begins. #HealthcareInnovation #MedTech #Biotechnology #ClinicalResearch #HealthTech #PatientCare #Innovation
