💬 “Why should I pay those dues?”
If you’ve ever asked yourself this question… you’re not alone. And you’re exactly who this new Dental Entrepreneur blog post is for. 👇
In “Stronger Together,” Dr. Sharon Parsons, past President of the Ohio Dental Association and longtime dental leader, breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions in dentistry:
✨ Organized dentistry isn’t the government.
✨ It’s your collective voice.
✨ And it’s one of the strongest tools we have as entrepreneurs.
From advocacy and PAC power to community, resources, leadership opportunities, and protecting your ability to practice the way you believe in—organized dentistry shapes far more of your daily reality than most realize.
And here’s the kicker Dr. Parsons emphasizes:
If fewer than half of dentists join, we lose our seat at the table.
If we lose our seat… we lose our influence.
If we lose our influence… who’s speaking for us?
Her message is clear, bold, and timely:
🦷 No one protects dentistry better than dentists themselves.
🦷 And we are stronger together.
