IPAD dentistry

The media is ablaze with them, the whole world wants one, and just about every media outlet is telling us how the IPAD can change our life? Well can it?

I have been lucky enough to be playing with my new IPAD and have been thinking how it could benefit a dental practice. Top suggestions below:

1. Before and After pictures - will be so easy to show to patients, they will be pretty impressed with the swipe across the screen to show them how they could look! Just the sale of one big case and the IPAD has virtually paid for itself!
   
2. Videos - Show patients videos personally key treatments possible and the outcome
3. Play music/video - etc - great for keeping patients and the kids entertained in practice
4. Design a patient history form, they then complete it on the IPAD and it is zapped straight into your computer software system
5. Be the talk of the town! - ok this won't be forever, but image is everything, so showing to patients you invest in the latest technology will only benefit your practice. Patients know about IPAD's but they have no idea about the latest burrs - so they will assess you on their terms!
   

I am sure there are many more, but don't dismiss this as a fad, the IPAD will change how businesses interact with customers!

Give it a go
