You sit there and you put your chair and right in front of you, you've got like Pearl AI and your x-ray and there's pink stuff.

And they're telling you stuff, but you're looking at it like they're looking at.

Now, recently, I went because I've got residences in a couple locations and my clients are really, really nice and they've They arranged for like a different dentist office for me to go to because I needed to get a cleaning and they weren't completely set up on that.

And I don't think they're going to invite me back because I was like, hey, where's the pearl? Where's this? How come I can't see that? And I think very quickly they were kind of unhappy with my question, but –
well that's that's a super good point yeah it's a great point brian and actually it's funny like when we look at the way the entire industry is adopting ai and imaging actually you know if you look at the offices utilizing pearl and utilizing video what you're seeing is that their utilization within those organizations goes through the roof when they use soda cloud because they don't have to leave into another software in order to see that stuff Normally, in the daily flow, they're taking the x-rays.

And then the dentist is like, well, this pink dot means you've got very minor decay.

And, you know, and in the case of mine, I think they put Curadont on it and it was like a whole big thing.
