For front desk, assistants and hygienists

Your patients are wondering.
Your team should be answering.

Every patient walks in with questions they'll never ask: how long, will it hurt, is it serious. TrainingDen gives your whole team AI patients who carry those questions, and grades every answer against a dentist-reviewed key and your doctor's own policies. Ten minutes a day.

You can't hire your way out of this.

Reps, not lectures
01

Who trains the front desk? You?

Between patients? New hires shadow someone who learned by shadowing. Nobody checks what they actually say, and the training stops by week two.

02

Where did that patient actually go?

Not at the treatment plan. At checkout, with 'I'll call to schedule.' On a silent walk to the chair. On the phone, when nobody explained why the exam matters.

03

What did your assistant just tell that patient?

'You've got a cavity.' 'It's less than a banana.' 'Take four Advil.' Your team improvises clinical answers every day, and one wrong sentence becomes the doctor's problem.

04

When a patient doesn't book, can anyone say why?

Nobody records the walk from the lobby or the call at the front desk. There's nothing to review and nothing to coach.

05

You're paying to fill the schedule.

Every marketing dollar buys a conversation. Nothing you're spending makes the conversation any good.

You already believe in reps. It's how you learned dentistry. This is reps for everyone else in the building: the person who answers the phone, the one who walks the patient back, the one holding the mirror.
The system that trains them.
01

Read the briefing

Who the patient is, what's on the chart, and your goal. Never what they're quietly wondering. Finding that out is the rep.

02

Talk to the patient

By text, on the phone, or in person. A live trust meter shows how they're feeling. Answer what's on their mind at the right moment and it climbs. Jargon and rushing pull it down.

03

Get coached, every single time.

Which of their questions you answered and which you missed, every statement checked against the approved answer, the line where it turned, and a better version of your own words. Pass is 70 with no automatic fail. Attempt, score, coach, repeat: that loop is how a team gets good.

A sample rep

Patients who wonder like patients

Every AI patient carries one to three questions they won't ask out loud. Answer one at the natural moment and they relax. Miss them all and they stay polite, then leave with "I'll call to schedule."

Level 3 · Recall checkout · Front desk
Patient:
That's fine, just put me on the schedule.
Trust 5/10 · start
Front desk:
Will do, Maria. So nothing surprises you: think of your tooth like a box with five sides. One filling covers the top, the other wraps around the back. It's one visit, about an hour.
Patient:
Oh good. I was wondering if it was a half-day thing.
Trust 7/10 · a silent question answered
Front desk:
You'll be numb a few hours afterwards, so late afternoon tends to work well. I have Thursday at 3:30 or Friday at 3.
Patient:
Friday at 3. Then I'm not numb in front of my staff.

Five sentences that end a rep on the spot

“You have a cavity on that back tooth.”

Diagnosing

“It’s less radiation than eating a banana.”

Radiation

“This crown will last you twenty years.”

Promising

“Take 800 milligrams of ibuprofen tonight.”

Dosing

“Whoever did this filling cut corners.”

Criticizing

However warm the rest of the conversation was. Your team learns where the line is before a patient hears it.

Coaching preview

Scored like a dental shade guide

Every rep is graded on the skills its level teaches, and nothing it doesn't. Coral means work on this. Deep pine means keep doing it.

One rep

A patient walks in. Ten minutes later, you know exactly where you stand.

Every rep is a scenario written with a dentist, from the moments your team actually has: the call that books the exam, the walk back, the x-ray question, the checkout.

Front desk, assistants and hygienists each get patients written for their job. To move up: pass eight reps at the level, every patient visit for your role at least once, one pushback conversation, and no automatic fail in your last five.

Your doctor's way

Trained on your answers, not someone else's

Answer a short questionnaire once: what goes into your exams, your x-ray policy, whether root canals stay in house. Add your fees. The coach grades your team against your answers, and treats any number you didn't give them as made up.

Practice settings · Example values
What do you always include in a comprehensive exam? In a periodic exam?

Comprehensive: full charting, gum measurements, oral cancer screening, a full set of x-rays if none in five years. Periodic: exam, two bitewings yearly.

Comprehensive exam$120
Full set of x-rays$150
Adult cleaning$110

Turnover

Hiring stops being a six-month bet.

Before you hire

Test the candidate.

Send a scenario as part of the interview. You'll learn more from one patient asking about x-rays than from another round of questions.

First 30 days

Ramp on scenarios, not patients.

New front desk, assistants and hygienists run their first reps before they meet a real patient, and you see the day they're ready instead of guessing.

Ongoing

The standard doesn't leave with the person.

When your best assistant leaves, the way your practice explains care stays in the system, not in their head.

For the doctor

Fifteen seconds, not a meeting

Everyone's level, pass rate and trend on one board. When someone crosses a line that fails a rep, you see who, when, and the exact words, before a patient ever hears them.

No games, no streaks, no daily goals on your side. You see who's practising, who's improving, and what to bring up at Monday's huddle, in about fifteen seconds.

Pricing

One price. The whole team trains.

The math

One patient who books at checkout instead of saying "I'll call to schedule" pays for the month.
