AI is changing dentistry at an incredible pace. From scheduling and treatment planning to patient communication and practice management, new tools are making it easier than ever to work faster and more efficiently. But in this episode, Dr. Killeen explores a different question: how do we stay human while embracing all this technology? He discusses the hidden risk of outsourcing too much of our thinking and why skills like critical thinking, creativity, focus, and resilience still matter. While AI can be a powerful tool, growth often comes from wrestling with challenges ourselves. Dr. Killeen shares why protecting our mental sharpness may become one of the most valuable skills in the years ahead and offers a simple challenge to help strengthen your “thinking muscles” every day.
