 Dental Support Organizations | Good DSO's Vs. Bad DSO's 

Like any profession or industry, there are good one's and there are bad one's. Dentistry and DSO's fall directly into this category. The DSO movement is in full force and there are a variety of factors driving this movement, but only the good DSO's are going to be around long enough to experience the benefits and synergizes. Poorly run or unethical DSO' are continuing to get exposed, and overall this is a great thing for dentistry and a positive for the DSO model at large. So far, a couple of bad apples have put a blemish on the DSO reputation, but as these unethical groups get run out of the profession, the positive and beneficial DSO's will continue to increase and thrive. As the reputation of good DSO's continues to get stronger based on healthy and ethical leadership, the model will continue to pick up momentum. Check out a few of the unethical DSO videos we recorded below, and research the amount of dentists that have come under hot water in the past 10 years for unethical DSO/service contracts and illegal dental practice ownership. Comment down below where you think the dental profession is headed in the next 5-10 years and what the driving professional, economic, and market factors will be.   

*This topic is extremely important for associate dentists to be aware of. If the dental practice ownership is too good to be true, or if there are a ton of gray areas in a contract that you are signing, I highly recommend seeking advice from a legal expert and to always know the reputation of the organization you are working with.
