Artificial Intelligence continues to evolve. As clinicians we are starting to wrap our heads around how it might help us with chart notes, perio charting, and even interpretation of radiographs... but while we are stuck in this mentality, it continues to evolve and progress. Imagine a time when AI impacts hiring preferences, predicts expected pay based on experiences, or helps a patient decide if your office is the right one for them! Rita Zamora joins our show for this episode and dives deep into the reputation management and potential future applications of AI in dentistry!

Once you lose bone, you never get it back, right? Have you heard this before? I have too. Recently we met with a group of hygienists (Jodi, Sam, Sara, and Amanda) who work in a practice that offers LANAP for their patients as well as being a very laser-centric practice for perio therapy. If you are looking to be inspired by what is possible out there in the world of dental hygiene, give this episode a listen!
