The dental profession is going through an extraordinary period of change; technology is rapidly advancing, research is expanding in a variety of new directions, regulations are being revised, and expectations about what a visit to the dentist means are evolving.

In the world of dental hygiene, we commonly refer to routine follow up exams with patients as ‘recall’ appointments.

The dental industry in Canada is evolving. With over 24,000 dentists and 14,000 practices across the country, today’s market is highly saturated and fragmented. The fragmentation, along with increased expectations of consumers, has given rise to a new business model: Dental Service Organizations (DSOs). DSOs can be thought of as independent business support centers that contract with dental practices to facilitate further growth and success.
We wrapped up our coast-to-coast Future of Dentistry Panel Series last week with our final event in Kamloops, BC.
