Exploring TMJ, Developmental Delays, and Cybersecurity in Dentistry with Ann-Marie DePalma

With extensive experience in various aspects of dental hygiene, Ann-Marie has dedicated herself to educating others on important topics. Her areas of expertise include TMJ, developmental delays in children, and the intersection of cybersecurity and AI in dentistry. Ann-Marie's passion for TMJ stems from her personal experiences with the condition. She seeks to educate individuals on the causes, treatments, and potential solutions related to TMJ and TMD.

Recognizing the impact of these issues on both patients and dental teams, Ann-Marie believes it is essential for all team members to be knowledgeable about what's happening in the practice. Ann-Marie stresses the importance of keeping all team members updated on HIPAA standards as part of providing quality care. Compliance not only ensures proper treatment of patients but also helps the dental practice meet regulatory requirements.

Her background as a software trainer in multi-clinic organizations has given her insight into the significance of consistency and credibility across the dental industry. Ann-Marie advocates for prioritizing patient well-being, believing that doing what's right for the patient ultimately leads to practice growth and success. While embracing new technologies and changes can be challenging, she emphasizes the long-term benefits for clinicians and patients alike.
