MLMIC Offers CE Webinar for Dentists to Celebrate New Dental Website

MLMIC Insurance Company recently launched a new, dedicated dental website and is offering a free CE webinar for dentists as part of it’s commitment to supporting the dental community in New York State.

Offered in conjunction with the New York State Dental Association (NYSDA), which will bestow the CE credits to participants, the webinar – developed by MLMIC – will explore “Managing Patient Expectations.” Registration is now available via the new MLMIC Dental website.

The webinar will be held on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at 7 p.m. One hour of CE credit will be given to attendees. Registration is open until 11:59 pm on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.

The presentation will explore how managing patient expectations is one of the most difficult challenges in dentistry. Both misunderstandings associated with the cost, time and discomfort associated with care, as well as a lack of proper documentation when those aspects are properly communicated to patients, drive professional liability claims against dentists. During this webinar, Shelly Kriete, MLMIC senior risk management consultant, and Nancy May-Skinner, Esq., managing attorney in the MLMIC Legal Department, will discuss how managing patient expectations – both in the waiting room and the procedure chair – will mitigate the risk of professional liability claims in your practice.

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Recognize reasons why patients may sue dentists.
• Review prevalent trends from malpractice claims analytics.
• Discuss strategies to reduce liability for common situations both within office operations and in the procedure chair.

MLMIC’s new dental website is focused exclusively on dentists and dental professional liability matters. It offers all the same great features plus new content, including expanded dental risk management tips, more comprehensive frequently asked questions, details on MLMIC premium discounts, educational and informational resources and more.

The site is easy to navigate and has a dynamic search function along with links to MLMIC’s application for coverage and contact information for MLMIC’s team of dental experts who are ready to help you with any of your questions and concerns. It also features an enhanced “request a quote” fillable form as well as contact information and directions for steps to take when reporting a claim.

In the near future, the new site will also provide access to the new MLMIC risk management program.
