Roshan Parikh, DDS, founder of DSO Strategy, recently connected with Becker's to discuss his advice for the next generation of dental leaders.
One dental company executive described the dental industry as "awakened," while a dental hygienist called it "challenging" because of the staffing shortages facing dental practices.
DSO growth, artificial intelligence and workforce diversity are just a few of the topics dental execs and professionals spoke with Becker's about in April.

Rising labor costs are exacerbating hiring challenges and increasing competition among DSOs, according to Barry Lyon, DDS.
When looking at the American dental workforce, it becomes glaringly obvious that something is missing — Black dentists.

Dental professionals and executives can expect to see continued growth in affiliations and acquisitions by DSOs in the next decade, according to Barry Lyon, DDS.
DSOs that prioritize culture may have a big advantage over those that don't over the next 10 years.
