What AI will do
- Analysing X-rays for early cavity detection
- Scheduling treatment plans and follow-ups
- Billing and insurance claims processing
What keeps you human
- Manual dexterity for precise physical procedures
- Patient reassurance and managing dental anxiety
- Judgment in complex treatment planning
