Dr. Natalia Chalmers: AI in Dentistry, Oral Health Policy, and Why the Mouth Is Part of the Body

Dr. Natalia Chalmers: AI in Dentistry, Oral Health Policy, and Why the Mouth Is Part of the Body

Dr. Natalia Chalmers has seen the dental system from every side: FDA dental officer, first-ever Chief Dental Officer at CMS, and now Head of Clinical Innovation at Overjet, the world's largest dental AI company. She's also a pediatric dentist and the 2025 Pediatric Dentist of the Year. In this episode, we discuss the tragedy that changed her career, how the right data in front of the right legislators won dental coverage for 800,000 adults in Maryland, and what FDA-cleared AI is actually doing in the dental chair today. We break down how the technology works, why the provider always owns the diagnosis, the role of AI in preauthorization battles between providers and payers, and her vision for a common language between dentistry and medicine. Whether you're a clinician, a policy nerd, or just someone who's ever gotten two different opinions from two different dentists, this one's for you.
