MouthWatch attended the 158th annual Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting, held in Chicago, for three days of continuing education opportunities, presentations, and exhibits featuring the newest dental products and technology for 2023.
This year’s floor was noticeably more crowded, with the event bringing 20,850 attendees, nearly 4,000 more than last year, and over 500 exhibitors to the event’s venue, McCormick Place. Dentists, dental team members, and students walked the floor, with many stopping by the MouthWatch booth along the way.
Throughout the event, we conversed with attendees looking to add new technology, like intraoral cameras and teledentistry, to their practice to make the patient experience more engaging and collaborative.
Visitors looking to upgrade their practice’s patient experience got hands-on with our standard and Plus+ cameras. We like to point out how adding a MouthWatch intraoral camera to their workflow can enhance the in-office patient experience. When patients see clear intraoral images of areas their dentist is explaining to them, they become more confident discussing their oral health and, crucially, more invested in getting treatment, improving both case acceptance and patient outcomes. That’s why we say about our cameras: See. Show. Treat. Repeat.
The topic of improving the patient experience extended beyond the MouthWatch booth, with many other exhibitors and CE courses also focusing on the topic. At the Chicago Midwinter’s Corporate Learning Theater, courses like Dave Weber’s “Power of Words in Building Relationships” and Judy Mausolf’s “Delivering WOW Service” were just two of many that focused on improving provider-patient communication and getting patients engaged with their oral health.
We’d like to thank every attendee who stopped by our booth and made MouthWatch part of their CDS Midwinter experience. It was great connecting with MouthWatch Intraoral Camera and TeleDent users and hearing about how our solutions have impacted your practices and curriculums. We’d also like to thank the amazing team at the Chicago Dental Society for all of their hard work and commitment to making each CDS Midwinter meeting even better than the last! We look forward to connecting with everyone again next year at CDS Midwinter 2024!
