Welcome to a new series of Fertility Foundations, where we go speak in depth with expert guests about how to prepare the foundations for healthy pregnancy. This week Sandra Greenbank is talking to Dr. Victoria Sampson about the connection between oral health and fertility.

Dr Sampson is well known for her work in developing saliva diagnostics, microbiome testing, and incorporating artificial intelligence into everyday oral care. Her work has been acknowledged worldwide, resulting in her becoming a scientific adviser, board member and clinical lead of multiple dental companies globally. She has published numerous papers internationally, with her most recent publication in the British Dental Journal being the most cited and viewed article ever published. Most recently, she was shortlisted as one of the most promising young scientists in Europe for the Forbes 30 under 30 in Science and Healthcare 2022, the first dentist to be shortlisted. She’s one of the cofounders of the Health Society in Mayfair, London, the first multidisciplinary health centre where she practices functional and precision dentistry, aimed at connecting the oral microbiome with general health. And she is a topical team member of the European Space Agency and NASA, creating guidelines for astronauts before long haul flights.
