I think in your position the most valuable thing you could do is to collect and provide dental training data to experts. You could also try to get in contact with a local university and see if they have some (future) medical/dental AI projects for their students and scientists which you could support by providing expert knowledge

this is by far the most useful thing to do, OP. Sure, you can start learning the ML basics, but it's going to take a very long time until you can contribute something useful to the field if you start from 0. Data, however, is the big filter for ML projects and you are in the unique position to be able to collect such valuable data.

Get in touch with a local university and see how you can help them out
