A Study Group Dedicated to the Education and Support of Dental Office Managers
For years, ACTSmart IT hosted the Dental Managers Society meetings in our offices in Pembroke.
Then, COVID hit and life changed! We published special editions of our newsletter with vital information to help keep you informed and viable. We shared our Team of Experts’ advice about PPP and PPE, CDC recommendations, legal advice as well as other encouragement to help you stay afloat.
After a few Zoom meetings, we stayed in contact through our monthly newsletters and weekly email blasts.
Consider these Wednesday emails your tech cheat sheet—news, tips, and a touch of “You’re kidding!”—all pulled together from trusted sources to keep you ahead of the curve. They also contain articles from our Team of Experts who contribute to this website and to our newsletter.
If you’d like to receive these emails, sign up here; there’s NO CHARGE and we will not spam you!

Thank you for your support!
