Dr. Lucy Hooper, MB BS MA BSc MRCGP DRCOG DCH
Dr. Hugh Coyne, MB BS BSc PgDip MRCGP DRCOG DCH
Interpret comprehensive blood panels in a dental context
Identify early cardiovascular warning signs during routine exams
Navigate the new era of weight loss medications (GLP-1s) and oral implications
You're Seeing the Earliest Signs Whether You Realize it or Not
Patients are showing up with more complex medical histories, chronic inflammation, metabolic disease, and medications that directly impact oral health.
Yet most dentists were never trained to interpret blood work, assess systemic risk, or confidently connect what they see in the mouth to what’s happening in the body.
Unexplained Healing Complications
Inconsistent Treatment Outcomes
Underlying Conditions that go Unrecognized
Close the Gaps in Your Practice
Strengthen your clinical judgment. And step into a more advanced, medically integrated model of care.
