In Episode 12 of The Technology Evangelist Podcast, sponsored by Medidenta Digital Solutions, Dr. John Flucke speaks with Dr. Bryan Laskin, dentist, speaker, consultant, and author of Dental Disorder and Unfair Care. This episode focuses on Connected Dentistry, dental data interoperability, and how secure digital systems are reshaping the patient experience.

Dr. Laskin shares his evolution from practicing dentist to dental technology innovator, including his work founding OperaDDS and his current role leading DentalCair—a patient-centered platform designed to improve access to dental records, billing, and scheduling through a secure mobile app.

Key Takeaways from Episode 12

The Problem of Fragmented Dental Data
Dr. Laskin highlights how modern dental practices struggle with disconnected systems, including imaging files, CBCT scans, and patient records that are often stored across multiple platforms without seamless integration.

Connected Dentistry & Interoperability
A major focus of the conversation is interoperability—ensuring dental systems can communicate effectively. Dr. Laskin discusses the importance of open standards supported by organizations such as the Dental Standards Institute and the Oral Health Interoperability Alliance to enable secure, unified access to patient data.

DentalCair & Patient Empowerment
Through DentalCair, patients gain direct access to their dental records, scheduling, and billing information. This not only improves transparency but also reduces administrative burden on front-office teams while enhancing overall care delivery.

Aligning Dentistry with Modern Healthcare Standards
Dr. Laskin explores how dental systems can better align with HIPAA principles, particularly around data portability and patient access, bridging the gap between medical and dental ecosystems.

Patient-First Innovation in Dentistry
His broader vision emphasizes a “patient-first” approach, where streamlined data systems improve communication, reduce friction in care, and support better clinical outcomes.
