While monitoring 8,000+ practices, Dental Intelligence has identified a MASSIVE problem that is coming this fall. Here's the thing, nobody saw hygiene patients for the better part of March-May.

We have vetted out all of the possible options and solutions to ensure that we suggest and provide the absolute EASIEST and most EFFICIENT ways to solve this problem. We are confident that we will save you HUNDREDS of hours of work with the solutions that we will share. Our number one goal is to help teams thrive through COVID-19. Join us to learn how.

Course Learning Objectives:

How to use data to anticipate problems/opportunities and confidently tackle them
Share technologies that will save you HUNDREDS of hours of work and exactly how to use them
Industry update on NEW innovations in online scheduling for patients
