Kevin's News Flashes

DentalTree gets patients involved in treatment options


DentalTree, which is now available at the Apple iPad Store, gets patients quickly involved in their treatment options. This portable, interactive presentation of treatment options draws patients into solving their dental problems with the dentist at their side.

 

DentalTree contains more than 200 pages of full-color photos, illustrations, and explanations organized in a logical pattern of the five dimensions of dental prevention and care. DentalTree is a method for the dentist and team members to engage patients in exploring their options and making good choices.

 

Narrative overlays of each page help ensure proper training of team members. DentalTree is designed and written by a general and restorative dentist with 34 years of experience in private practice, an artist, and an experienced programmer of Apple applications for dentistry. It is a tool designed to clarify dentistry for patients.

 

A free demo is available at the Apple iPad Store.
