Did you know Starbucks probably has more advanced technology than a typical dental office when it comes to catering to customer experience? It’s true! As a champion of Digital Nitrous, dental standards and the importance of the patient experience in dentistry, Dr. Bryan Laskin appears frequently in TV interviews and podcasts and writes as a thought leader in the healthcare space. In our conversation with Dr. Laskin, we discuss how he's innovating and educating dentists on creating better standardization in the industry. He's a talented author, and his latest book, The Patient First Manifesto has dentists and critics alike raving.

Emerging technologies are becoming a huge force in dentistry. But along with the early adoption of tech, Dr. Laskin believes in advocating for the patients who will be on the receiving end of so much innovation. If you’d like to have a voice in changing the industry — and patient care — please join the conversation at the Dental Standards Institute.
