Accelerate Dental CEO, Mike Baird, drops a devastating warning: This generation of dentists is actively selling out their entire industry - and the private equity deals that seemed attractive just years ago are now trapping doctors in receivership nightmares while permanently stripping dentistry of professional ownership.

Key Revelations:

• Medical precedent is terrifying: 80% of doctors now work for corporate overlords

• Dental is following the same path: 25% corporate-owned and accelerating fast

• 60% of new dental graduates choose DSO employment over ownership

• Once sold to private equity, practices NEVER return to dentist ownership

• Young dentists are trapped as permanent employees with income ceilings
