The idea is good. But a "new" start is not necessary since the GNUmed DB is already there. Many people are working on it and would for sure welcome input from your side to integrate Tables for Dental needs.

Now you have the chance to use it, too. I would like to see that! That way, at least part of our efforts are joined and when it comes to switch to a common EHR record standard in some years (hopefully), we change the DB model once and every project just needs to adapt their GUI and model logic. > So we could call it the (Debian) Medical Practice Management Suite.
