If you've been in dental circles for more than five minutes, Dental Nachos probably needs no introduction.
Founded by Dr. Paul Goodman — known to most as Dr. Nacho — Dental Nachos is a community of over 60,000 dentists and dental professionals built around the idea that dentistry is better when people feel less alone in it. CE courses, live events like Super Dentist Boost Camp, practice coaching, study clubs, and a community that tends to attract people who take their craft seriously and still manage to have a good time doing it. The tagline is "Always Be Connecting" and it shows in how the community runs.
We're glad to be part of what they've built. Janie is now a proud Dental Nachos sponsor.
Why this made sense
Dental Nachos is primarily a community for dentists — practice owners, associates, new grads, and seasoned clinicians figuring out how to run great practices at every stage of their careers. That's a group that deals directly with the operational reality of what a front desk is actually handling on any given day: calls that go unanswered, schedules that need filling, insurance verifications that eat up hours, no-shows that leave chairs empty.
Janie was built to take that burden off the team automatically, so it doesn't pile up on the people trying to do the clinical work. It felt like a natural fit.

As part of this partnership, Dental Nachos members get exclusive discounts on Janie's platform:

A quick look at what these modules actually do
Janie Engagement answers every inbound call — during appointments, over lunch, after hours — and books directly into your PMS in real time. It runs automated recall and reactivation sequences for patients who are overdue or lapsed, sends multi-step confirmation reminders to cut no-shows, and handles voice, SMS, and web chat all from the same system. Your front desk doesn't have to manage it. It runs automatically.
Janie Verification runs eligibility checks and full benefit breakdowns for every patient on tomorrow's schedule before anyone walks in. Deductibles, coverage percentages, waiting periods, frequency limitations, coordination of benefits — all pulled and written back into your PMS automatically, with no one sitting on hold with a carrier. Fewer surprise bills at checkout, fewer awkward conversations about coverage after the fact.
Both modules are part of Janie's end-to-end dental operating system and connect to the PMS and phone setup you're already using.
