At a glance

FAQ
Dental clinic questions
Can the agent decide whether pain is urgent?
It does not diagnose. It can collect facts and apply an escalation instruction written by the clinic.
Can it book different appointment types?
Yes when durations, professionals, resources, prerequisites, and exclusions are clearly configured.
How is patient information protected?
The deployment must limit fields, access, retention, and destinations. Exact controls must be confirmed in security documentation and the applicable agreement.
Can it answer insurance questions?
It can explain an approved administrative process, but should not confirm coverage or reimbursement it cannot verify.
