How I Use AI for Awesome and Efficient Dental Records – PDP181 – Protrusive Dental Podcast Click below for full episode transcript: Jaz's Introduction: Recently I made an episode about how to never write notes again. So using some clever software on your web browser that listens to your audio consultation with you and your patient and uses AI to actually make your notes. So you don't have to then be there typing away or your nurse doesn't have to type every risk and benefit that you discuss as part of the consultation. Jaz's Introduction:You can also create letters to referring dentists and patient report based on that consultation as well. So it's using the latest tools in AI and audio recording to reduce the stress of your nurse and the dentist. But then you guys started messaging me saying, Jaz, which other softwares are you using? And I was like, wow, okay, there is a couple that I use, and a couple that I've seen and tested, and they're great, and I'm happy to talk about them. But because I'm not a principal, I am an associate, I think there will be an injustice if I did this episode alone. So in today's AskJaz, we're covering which are the some of the best softwares out there in, in various different domains, communication, CRM, which is a new word for me. So I've got our guest Prav Solanki on, and I'll explain what that means in a moment. But also what are we doing for like a smile mock ups and of course, our patient management system, which I don't know, I'm not a buyer of that, your principals of practice supplies, your practice management system that could be dentally SOE exact care stack, whatever it is. So we talked a little bit about that. So the kind of themes that we discussed today are the different softwares that we're using that you can use some that I tried some that Prav has tried. And so I totally appreciate that. We haven't covered every single software out there, but this is just based on our experiences. And I'd love to hear more from you. So if you're on Protrusive Guidance watching this, comment below. If you're on YouTube, for example, if you're listening on Spotify, then maybe just reach out and say, hmm, have you tried this software or that software? And the best place for that would be Protrusive Guidance, our own community, the home of the nicest and geekiest dentists in the world. So just to give you a little flavor of what we're talking about today, CRM, which is a Customer Relationship Management software, which for me, like when Prav told me that he owns a CRM software, it went way over my head. I had no idea what it meant. And so he explained to me, it's like a patient growth machine or patient nurturing machine. Because what I learned was, and I learned this a few years ago, but even then, I say, I think lots of associates, when I say lead, what is a lead? It's like, a lot of associates who are so into their clinical dentistry, they'd, I don't know, get some sort of a wire and be like, Oh, this is a lead. A lead is someone who's inquired, but not yet a patient. Do you see what I mean? So as associates, I sometimes think that we don't know about this business side. So that's why we wanted to cover a software that people use, practices use to manage and nurture leads. So these are inquiries who are not yet a patient. And so Prav's the expert in that. He owns and runs lead flow. So he talks about that. Then we talk about the different patient management softwares. And then my favorite software at the moment, which is Digital TCO. We talk a little bit about how I'm using it in practice. And then a favorite of mine and Prav's, not specifically a dental software, but we love using Loom. Like we previously spoke about this, the power of using Loom in the videos that you send to your patients, videos that you send to your team members. So we'll talk a lot about that as well. And some of the latest softwares like Pearl AI, which is like for radiographs, your radiographs in color, which I think is a great communication tool. There's also ChairSyde, which comes highly recommended. I've seen a live demo of this. This was pretty cool. Again, some of these softwares I use, some I don't, but between me and Prav, we have enough to talk about it. And a recent one called SmileCloud, which my prosthodontist friend, Ricky Bhopal, ex guest on the show, the episode we did with Ricky was Productivity with a Prosthodontist. And I'll tell you, Ricky's a very productive guy. So there's all sorts that we'll be covering today. And usually on these Ask Jaz episodes, I don't give a Protrusive Dental Pearl, but I'm still going to give one in this one anyway. And this is a non clinical one. This is, if you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got. Let me say that again. If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got. So really, if you listen to this entire episode, and you think that actually I could use that in my practice. Actually, this makes sense. Or I would like to use Digital TCO. I would like to try a CRM system or patient growth machine, but then you just leave it, you leave it as a thought, then whatever results you're getting at the moment, that's what you'll get. And if you're happy with that, great. But if you want more, if you think that your life could be enhanced, if you think that your workflows, your systems could be enhanced. Then I challenge you to pick one of these softwares, pick a few of these softwares, and see if it can actually add quality to your life, actually give you more time, give you more results, give you more bottom line, wherever it could be that you're seeking. So don't just be a passive listener, be someone who takes action and tries to better themselves or their practice. Just before we join Prav, the choreography of this episode ends up being so that half, the first half of the episode, we're talking about Leadflo and a patient nurturing machine. And then the second half, we talk about all the other different software. So see where you are and what you want to gain from this episode and feel free to navigate around. I will be putting the links in the show notes. And as always, I'll be very clear about any financial interest I have in any of the softwares and which ones I don't have any financial interest, you can always expect that from me. And what I mean by financial interest, like things like Digital TCO, I have a small financial interest because it's an affiliate link, but it's an affiliate link that gives you 50 percent off. So if you prefer to pay full price and not get the extended trial, be my guest. Right. So I'm trying to help you here as well. Anyway, let's join the main episode. Let's hope you learn about some softwares that we use. Main Episode:Prav Solanki, welcome back to the Protrusive Dental Podcast. How are you, my friend? [Prav]I'm good. Full of beans. [Jaz]This is way past your bedtime, man. This is way, way late. You are someone who, those who don't know, like you are like for me, I see like if it's 9 PM, like, Whoa, I mean, I can't message Prav. He'll be asleep. He'll see us in the morning kind of thing. But I know you wake up mega early. And I just want to say again, I say it's 9 PM. Time and time again, when I see you in the podcast, absolute inspiration to me, my life all the way. I think you've molded so much of it.
