π¦· AI & Your Oral Health: Know When to GO, SLOW DOWN or STOP!
AI can be a great tool for learning about dental health, preparing questions for your appointment, or better understanding dental terminology. But when it comes to your individual health, AI should support your dental care β not replace it.
π’ GO β Use AI to learn, prepare questions and organize your concerns before your appointment.
π‘ SLOW DOWN β Found information about tooth pain, bleeding gums or a treatment online? Bring it to us and ask, βIs this accurate for me?β Every patient and every situation is different.
π΄ STOP β Donβt rely on AI to diagnose a dental problem, interpret X-rays, change medications, decide whether treatment is necessary, or determine whether you can wait to seek care.
At Pelham Hills Dentistry, weβre always happy when our patients come prepared with questions. Technology can provide information, but your dental team can provide something AI canβt β an examination, your individual clinical history, and personalized care. π
Use AI to get informed. Use your dental team to make decisions about your smile. π¦·β¨
