There’s no debating it: AI is here, and it’s here to stay. We know, this can sound pretty scary! AI isn’t all bad, though. In fact, it can do a lot of good things for your practice.
With the power of AI, you don’t have to write notes by hand. AI saves plenty of time by recording your conversations with patients. Scanning technology has evolved, too, helping dentists uncover tooth decay sooner than ever before.
Now, there’s one caveat: AI is a tool, not a decision maker. It can’t replace you, your team or your many years of experience. When left to its own devices, technology can make bad decisions! Treat it like a second opinion. At the end of the day, you still decide what happens.
We don’t want you to fear AI. Coach it, harness it, learn from it…just don’t blindly trust it.
Haven’t played with AI yet? Give it a try! Many of our partners do incredible things with AI, and you should definitely check them out. These companies are revolutionizing dentistry; let them revolutionize your practice, too!
