THIS is the best thing in Dentistry since local anesthetic! I HATE typing notes even more than I hate cracked teeth. The quest for good, detailed, contemporaneous record keeping in 2024 means so many of us stay behind after patients to ‘tidy up’ our notes. With the power of audio recording and AI, I am pleased to present to you NOTES THAT WRITE THEMSELVES!
