Our mission is to support ADSO member companies and their teams through research, education and advocacy.
About us
The Association of Dental Support Organizations (ADSO) is a non-profit organization comprised of more than 40 member companies and more than 100 industry partners. ADSO represents Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) before the public, policymakers and the media. Our members enable supported dentists to focus on their patients and expand access for dental care while maintaining the highest standards of business and professional ethics. Our members operate in 44 states and provide the highest level of non-clinical support to more than 13,000 dentists across the country as well as in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. DSO-supported dentists, on average, have lower startup costs for a new practice, spend more time on clinical care within their practice than their non-DSO supported counterparts, and offer more flexible office hours for their patients. ADSO is the source of information regarding the role DSOs play in the evolving dental services marketplace.

ICYMI: Texas lawmakers are considering House Bill 1803, which would make the state the newest member of the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact (DDHC). Texas is one of the nation’s fastest growing states and is currently underserved when it comes to the supply of oral health care. If passed, this bill would help rectify the shortage of dental care providers by allowing dentists and dental hygienists who are licensed in other DDHC member states to practice in Texas. Scotte Hudsmith, Chairman and CEO of Specialized Dental Partners and President of the ADSO provided a testimony at today’s hearing. “This compact is the only initiative designed to facilitate licensure portability for both dentists and dental hygienists nationwide,” said Hudsmith. “It reduces a practitioner’s administrative burden of maintaining multiple licenses. It ensures state regulators maintain jurisdiction over their practitioners. And it increases collaboration among member states.” Learn more about House Bill 1803: https://lnkd.in/gfQ4fjNS
