Something worth paying attention to if you own a practice.

- Patients aren't typing "dentist near me" anymore. They're asking full questions - "I have dental anxiety and need a crown, who should I see" and AI gives them three names.

- Then they trust those three names the way they'd trust advice from a friend.

- Naren shared what his team is seeing: when a patient comes in from ChatGPT or Google's AI answers, the sale is already done. No convincing. They show up ready.

Full episode with Dr. Lorne Lavine is live.

Your practice could be doing everything right clinically and still be stopped in its tracks by one bad click.

A ransomware attack can mean more than lost files.

It can mean days of downtime, no access to your schedule, no X-rays, patient notifications, and serious questions about how well your data was protected.

This week on The Thriving Dentist Show, Naren Arulrajah talks with Dr. Lorne Lavine of The Digital Dentist about what dental practice owners should actually know about cybersecurity, HIPAA, AI, backups, and IT.

Dr. Lavine is not just an IT expert. He spent 10 years practicing as a periodontist before moving into dental technology.

One point worth remembering:

Cybersecurity is not just about stopping an attack. You also need a clear plan for recovering when something gets through.

Dr. Lavine walks through prevention, backup and recovery, staff training, cyber insurance, and the risks of putting patient data into public AI tools.

If technology is becoming a bigger part of your practice, this is a conversation worth hearing.

🚨 2 DAYS AWAY — DON’T MISS THIS!

What is your dental practice REALLY worth?

You may have a number in mind.
A buyer could see something very different.

Why? EBITDA. Patient retention. Owner dependency. Growth. Deal structure. And the quality of your future revenue.
