DSOs are criticized by some who either don’t understand how a DSO operates, or because they present a competitive threat. Because the attacks are real and threaten the ability of dentists to choose the administrative support services that best suit their practice, ADSO members have committed to a strong government affairs structure that works to inform and educate policy makers about the benefits of DSOs in their communities, including jobs, lower healthcare costs, and expanded access to dental care through supported dental practices.
