Best practices accounting needed for dental industry
With total annual revenue of $125 billion in 2014, U.S. dental practices are on a revenue level with AT&T, Hewlett-Packard, and other similar companies. But for all this revenue, too often best accounting practices are missing.

The valuation of trust: Part 1
As consultant Thomas Climo, PhD, writes, trust is an overarching topic that is too often not discussed. Why should a seller trust a buyer's agent, and why should a buyer trust a seller's broker? Until you answer this, the entire process of buying and selling dental practices may well be founded on miscommunication.
