AI That Gives Dental Teams Their Time Back | Humpday Happy Hour™ with Kristen Smith
Send us Fan Mail Artificial intelligence is changing dentistry but not by replacing people. It's helping dental teams spend less time on repetitive administrative tasks and more time focused on delivering exceptional patient care. This week on Humpday Happy Hour™, we're joined by Kristen Smith, Vice President of Customer Success at Curve Dental. With nearly 30 years of experience in the dental industry and 17 years helping practices succeed with Curve, Kristen has a unique perspective on how AI is transforming the day-to-day operations of modern dental offices. In this episode, we discuss how practices are using AI and automation to streamline clinical, administrative, and support workflows, reduce manual work, and improve efficiency without sacrificing the personal connections that patients value. Kristen also shares what she's seeing firsthand across Curve practices as teams embrace AI to solve problems faster, simplify daily tasks, and create a better experience for both staff and patients. Whether you're just beginning to explore AI or looking for practical ways to make your practice more efficient, this conversation offers real-world insights into how today's technology can help your team work smarter…not harder.

Why Dental Groups Fail: Lessons From Coaching Over 200 Associate Dentists with Dr. Eric Roman on Humpday Happy Hour™
Send us Fan Mail Dr. Eric Roman is the founder of Dental Associate Growth and the joyFULL Growth platform, a dental coaching and systems company purpose-built for dental groups and DSOs. Over a 15-year career, Dr. Roman has built and exited two dental groups, hired and developed hundreds of associate dentists, and coached more than $1 billion in annual dental revenue. In the last 18 months of intensive associate coaching, his team analyzed more than 10,000 real dentist-patient interactions using AI measurement tools and worked directly with more than 200 providers across the country. His research consistently reveals the same counterintuitive finding: Associate performance problems are not clinical. They are behavioral, systemic, and entirely solvable. He speaks and consults nationally in the group dentistry and DSO space with a reputation for naming clearly what most people in the industry are only thinking privately. ✨Connect with Dr. Roman: Website: https://drericjroman.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drericjroman/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drericjroman/ 📺Make sure you subscribe to catch Chicago Midwinter Meeting discussions on our channel every Monday! 🌟Follow the DINKs to stay up to date on all the latest dental trends: https://linktr.ee/dentistsintheknow
