Are up- dates available free of charge? My Dental Hub is a suite of products and is subscription based. All updates are included in the subscription fee. The full package includes anima- tions, slideshows, documents, patient and photo management, presentations, and Easy Consult. The software comes with an unlimited licence, which means that within a practice, there can be an unlimited number of computers and users. The subscription also includes unlimited training, unlimited support, all updates and upgrades, all new content, an unlimited number of e-mails, unlimited storage of patient data, photos and documents and daily backup. We offer special pricing for American Academy of Periodontology members (we were chosen as their exclusive patient-education provider), and other organisa- tions. Pricing can be found on our website. We also offer a “lite” version of the software that provides access to all of our animations and narrated slide- shows on both computers and mobile devices. Web Site Content allows the practice to link their website to the entire library of narrated animations and slideshows so patients can browse through all the content and/or they can embedspecificcontentdirectlyintotheirwebsite. We also offer a free ten-day trial that can be requested on our website. _In your opinion, how will digital tools change the dental practice and the way in which doctors communicate with their patients? The entire world is digital—not “becoming” digital. Dentists must embrace this new means of doing business simply because it is now a component of everything, from paying a bill in a restaurant to travel, shopping and doing some- thing as basic as reading. In terms of communication, digital tools en- able a dental practice to communicate quickly, easily and effectively with patients or referrals. No more printing, no more mailing, diminished expense and waste. Society is changing. People are more aware of their environment and doing their part to go “green”. With simple tools, a dental practice can deliver high-quality education directly and ex- emplify “environmental friendliness” as well. Ten years ago, if you had told people you could e-mail animations to patients to show them a dental procedure,noonewouldhavebelieveditpossible. Today, this is the way of the world and the way business is being done. I believe that with the incorporation of digital tools into a dental practice, “elegant simplicity and seamless connectivity” with patients and colleagues will become the standard. Those who embrace today’s technology will be tomorrow’s industry leaders. Weallliveinaconnectedworld.MyDentalHub is about being at the epicentre of that connection in the dental world. For more information please call +1 877 789 4448 or visit www.mydentalhub.com._ Hundreds of videos with narration can be accessed easily.
