Oral diseases are a major public health issue in the African region where, despite encouraging "official" GDP percentages, the number of poor people increases inexorably due to a massive population growth. Jean-Pierre Eudier writes about Africa's public health challenges in the international dental magazine Infodent International.

​Jean-Pierre Eudier has dedicated his entire life to providing high quality, low-cost dental care at scale in Africa. His passion has been the development of minimally invasive dental procedures and as a dentist, he has participated in the establishment of many African dental schools and clinics across the continent. He shared his personal story with Dental Tribune.
