What a week at the ODA's Annual Spring Meeting!

CDSPI was a proud sponsor at with two packed panel sessions, our most attended New Dentist Reception to date, and so many meaningful conversations with dentists at every career stage.

From "A New Dentist Survival Guide" in the morning to "Stop the Financial Bleeding" in the afternoon, the participation, questions and conversations were outstanding.
We were also thrilled to welcome more than 300 pre-registrants for our New Dentist Reception, our best-attended yet.

Thank you to everyone who attended a session, stopped by the booth, joined the reception or shared a conversation with our team. It was a pleasure to connect with so many members of the dental community.

Cyber risk in dentistry is no longer just a technology issue — it’s a readiness issue. That shift is changing what it means to be prepared.

In a new co-authored article in Oral Health with cybersecurity strategist Anne Genge, we explored the growing gap between being covered and being ready, and what it means for dental practices today.

Insurers increasingly expect to see reasonable safeguards in place before issuing or renewing cyber coverage.
