Dental Caries Classification: the JADA article is linked here; worth reading!

Paperless Dentistry:

Best way to do paperless forms, consents, etc – MedicTalk website or watch this video

Paperless Dentistry website (mostly older information – now rarely updated)111

“Must Have” for Modern Dental Office:

“PatientXpress” – the “force multiplier” for the front desk! Patient information at your fingertips when the telephone rings and instant, real time insurance eligibility & benefits!

DentalXChange ClaimsConnect for electronic insurance claims – works with virtually all practice management software

DentalXChange patient statement service – using a professional statements service not only reduces cost and time but increases collections

Invisalign – every GP should be providing Invisalign to his/ her patients; it’s a great service and very profitable

Epson WorkForce ES-400 Color Duplex Document Scanner – about $379 from Amazon; very fast, double sided scanning of multiple sheets; not a flatbed scanner! Scans to pdf format or TWAIN

Lester Dine Clinical Camera $795 – Small, light, point-and-shoot camera that takes great pictures; comes as a “kit” that includes retractors and mirrors.

Dymo Label Printer – for envelopes, appointment cards; very handy; can be “shared” so one printer at front can print appointment cards from all computers in office

Microlux Transilluminator – very hi-tech for only about $300! “Now we don’t have to take so many x-rays!” WOW!

Unlock the PPO – very useful service for start up or established practice wishing to drop or add managed care plans using experience and actual data rather than “close your eyes and pick one.”

Digital Radiography:

XDR Radiology1

Computer Networking, Monitoring, Support:

DMI Networking – networks, hardware support, security and HIPAA
