Problem
Dentists often spend significant time searching through general drug guides that are not tailored to dental practices, leading to inefficiencies and potential oversights in patient care. This can result in increased chair time, higher risk of prescribing errors, and potential legal liabilities.

By delivering pharmacist-approved dosing guidelines and recommendations for alternative medications, MedAssent DDS streamlines the medication management process, reducing the time spent on each patient. The system also provides revenue-enhancing tips related to drug side effects and generates timestamped Med Reports to help dentists mitigate legal risks and ensure compliance with the latest FDA and ADA guidelines.
