NEW on DentalTV: Unpacking ADA's New Dental X-Ray Guidelines The American Dental Association (ADA) has updated its dental X-ray safety guidelines, eliminating the need for lead aprons and thyroid collars. Modern digital X-ray equipment and techniques like rectangular collimation provide better protection by restricting the beam size to the targeted area. These changes aim to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure, which can occur when protective gear obstructs the primary X-ray beam, potentially requiring additional radiographs. The guidelines emphasize using digital imaging over film, proper patient positioning, and using CBCT only when necessary. Dental professionals must adhere to all applicable regulations and implement radiation safety programs​ https://lnkd.in/ezi-G9pe #DentalSafety #RadiationProtection #DentalXRay #ADAGuidelines

“Siri, who’s the best optometrist near me?” Voice search isn’t just about getting the day’s forecast or news headlines; users may find you online with a simple command to a smartphone or home device. Have you considered this in your marketing strategy? You have SEO in place, but think about it… do you type the same way you speak? Your current SEO implementation may only account for those with a keyboard. Voice commands spill out off the cuff, and they’re likely less succinct than a traditional search at a computer. Have you incorporated long-tail keywords into your strategy? The widespread adoption of voice search is increasing and changing how you need to optimise your website. Your local SEO is more important. Long-tail keywords are more important. Being mobile-optimised has always been important, but it is even more so now with voice search technology. Are you staying up-to-date with technology that affects your marketing strategy? If you haven’t started yet, now is the time to research how voice search affects you and implement some changes to your marketing strategy. https://lnkd.in/dtnju33V #voicesearch #seo #digitalmarketing #localseo #searchengineoptimization

“If our patients already trust us, why do I even need a tool like Pearl?” This is a great question and likely on many of your minds. But the truth is, you probably don’t want to hear the answer from us, the tech company selling the software. Therefore, in this post, we won’t go into great detail about how Pearl can enhance patient communication and engagement, build confidence, reduce decision fatigue, improve case acceptance, and boost overall clinical care and practice profitability. We will let Dr. Sivan Finkel, an avid user of Pearl, explain why he “needs” Pearl’s Second Opinion® in his practice. In the video below, he explains: “I need Pearl because I’m going to do everything I can to help communicate to my patients what they need. Now, for the first time, the patient has a visual tool that’s instant, on the screen, in colour, explaining to them in the simplest, easy-to-read terms that allow them to, as we like to say, own their problems. They see exactly what’s happening in their mouth and then we can offer them solutions.” Watch the full video to see how Dr. Sivan and his team benefit from integrating Pearl’s AI software into their daily operations and patient care.
