Smart Training

We’re bringing together dental industry leaders who are looking for practical resources, tested solutions that solve current business needs, and stronger vendor connections.

If you work in the dental industry in operations, C-Suite, HR, learning and development, compliance, or have responsibilities in IT and tech stack (software/AI) for 3 to 15+ practices, this event is being designed specifically for you.

Registration opens soon! Reach out directly for more details.

Smart Summit is intended for dental practice leadership and decision makers. This is not a CE event, though CE may be included.

If your current compliance system creates more work instead of reducing it, something isn’t working. Smart Training automates reminders, organizes training, and stores documents so your team doesn’t spend hours tracking tasks manually.

A good system streamlines daily operations and makes compliance feel manageable, not overwhelming. Time saved is time your team can put back into patient care.

DM us to see how Smart Training can simplify your practice’s workflow.

Having an Emergency Action Plan is only the first step. Your team should also walk through evacuation routes and communication roles so everyone knows what to do.

The ADA recommends drills and training at least annually to help teach employees about their responsibilities in an emergency. Drills also reveal gaps in communication or layout issues that your written plan might not catch.

Cold sterile solutions have manufacturer-defined “in use” timeframes that start the moment they’re activated. Using them past their recommended lifespan weakens disinfection and puts patients at risk.

Many practices maintain replacement logs to ensure solutions are changes on time and to support consistent infection control. Small documentation habits help keep instruments safe and compliant.

Training dental assistants often means dentists and senior staff repeating the same instructions during busy clinical days. Chairside Excellence Academy courses were designed specifically for dental assistants, helping them understand chairside workflows and what to expect during procedures.

Practices benefit from more consistent training while dentists save time explaining routine steps. The program currently includes 55 general courses, with a 25-course pediatric series now being released for pediatric practices and offices that treat pediatric patients.

Evacuation maps must reflect your current floor plan, including doors, exits, and blocked areas. Outdated maps can cause confusion in an emergency and are an easy citation during OSHA reviews. They also need to be posted in visible, consistent locations.

Smart Training creates custom evacuation maps so your emergency plans are accurate and compliant. Check out smarttraining.com/emergency-evacuation-map.

CDC guidelines recommend routine waterline testing to ensure patient safety, but many practices are inconsistent with testing. Irregular testing increases the risk of contamination and makes corrective action harder.

Keeping detailed records also matters during inspections. Consistent testing protects compliance and patient trust. Don’t forget to test your waterlines.

A HIPAA violation doesn’t end when the mistake happens.

Healthcare organizations need to investigate the incident, notify affected patients, and take corrective action to prevent future breaches.

Smart Training helps dental practices respond to violations and strengthen their compliance programs with the training, policies, and tools needed to prevent future incidents.

Many practices don’t realize medical waste disposal requirements differ from state to state, including labeling, storage time, and container rules. Outdated information can lead to violations, even if your team is trying to do things correctly.

Staying current protects safety and compliance. Smart Training keeps dental teams updated with state-specific OSHA guidance so nothing gets overlooked.

People's actions are often driven by emotion, but emotions don't have to control behavior.

Learn how beliefs shape feelings and why understanding matters more than correction in our Developing Interpersonal Skills series. Course 1 covers all seven principles for better communication.
