Brush, floss and don't forget the nanotech

If you only know New Mexico as a previous home for Heisenberg, AKA WW, AKA The Chemist of the last decade, we are about to knock (revolutionize) your teeth right out of your skull. 


Iron man (and women)

Remember these words: A remote-controlled, magnetic toothpaste + toothbrush that will inject a solution, full of nanotech (like you are a freakin iron man), right into your mouth, which will get to your every corner of your mouth to kill harmful bacteria and improve your oral health (mind blown). 


A team of dentists, Biotechs, biologists, scientists and other super nerds are working on nanotechnology-based oral healthcare products. These products, granted FDA don't create any roadblocks, could be available in the market as early as 2027.


A startup called MNT is working on bringing this product to the market and made a deal with University of Nex Mexico and University of Texas. 


Other innovations in dentistry

While we wait to revolutionize our nightly routines, other tech is already helping dental care providers and patients.

  1. Teledentistry: A complete NO, NO pre-pandemic now is an acceptable form of oral exam using digital tools. 
  2. VR in the dental office: Most patients are scared of the dental tools, especially the drilling and grinding noise. VR has helped has helped to relax a patient while distracting them witha virtual tour of The Grand Canyon.
  3. We cannot mention VR without AI: According to a study conducted by Pearl, an artificial intelligence (AI) system performed better than most dentists in diagnoses of bitewing and periapical radiographs.

RESOURCES

  • Gingivitis: Although, a thought of tiny techy things in our mouths is super exciting, there are simple yet amazingly effective things you can do to treat gingivitis, today. Gingivitis is an early sign of gum disease can be harmful to your overall health.
  • Self-pay dental care: Dental insurance plans suck and it is no surprise. You can check out this company that offers membership plans for dental care. 
  • Out-Of-Network: Yesterday, we talked about medical debt and the overall financially debilitating impact on many families. If you see an out-of-network doctor, therapist, surgeon or any other healthcare provider, you can always submit an out of network claim to request a reimbursement from your insurance company. This company makes is super easy and affordable to file an out-of-network claim. They might be able to help you with your dental claims as well. 
     

HEALTHY BITES

  • Psychedelics are gaining popularity as an option for the treatment of mental health conditions. This show on Hulu has certainly put this treatment awareness in the mainstream media.
  • If you think all plant-based diets are healthy, you are far from the truth. Junk Veggie food (carbonated beverages, flavored dairy snacks and many energy bars) poses serious health risks, including heart disease and storke. 
  • Surgical backlogs continue to persist post pandemic. Overall, weekly surgical procedure volume decreased by 45% in 2020. Although, the numbers are going back up, there is still enough backlog to worry major hospital systems. 
  • There is a serious debate going on regarding the name "Monkey Pox". Among the suggestions are Humanpox, lymphpox and mpox.
  • Longevity on your mind? You should know where to retire. Here is a list of States ranked by life expectancy
  • Thinking of going to medical school? Some of these schools will cost you more than $300,000.

FOR PATIENTS

Our Vision: Healthcare cost containment and price transparency

Health is one of the most precious possessions and the idea of health insurance is to protect this possession. Although, we have different personalities, our healthcare needs are quite similar. Yet, the cost of care varies significantly.

Health insurance deductibles, increasing out of pocket costs, limited coverage, pre-auth time restrictions and loss of coverage are SOME of the reasons, most people delay seeking care from a doctor, a dentist, a surgeon or a mental health specialist. 


HBI believes that healthcare should be accessible with ease and cost transparency. New doctors, dentists, imaging centers and other healthcare specialties join us every single day. 


Do a simple search and find a provider near you.
