Dr. Eric Roman reveals that associate dentist underperformance could be costing dental groups millions of dollars per year - even for smaller DSOs with just 5-10 locations.

Key Revelations:

• 50% of dentists are now associate employees (up from 10-15% previously)

• Patient trust in dentists has plummeted - they're no longer in the top 3 most trusted professionals

• Patients actively seek "non-chain" dentists on social media

• Some DSOs have five empty locations with no dentists
