About Dentist News Today
Independent reporting on the dentists, practices and ideas moving dentistry forward, from California to every state.
Dentist News Today covers dentistry the way a good city magazine covers its city: the people, the businesses, the community work and the ideas that change how things are done. We start in California, where we are based, and we report on practices in every state.
What we cover
- People. Profiles and interviews with dentists, specialists, hygienists, assistants and practice leaders whose work is worth knowing about.
- California. Rule changes, Medi-Cal Dental, the Dental Board and regional news from San Diego to Sacramento.
- Nationwide. Practices and policy beyond California.
- Business. Ownership, staffing, DSOs and the economics of running a practice.
- Technology. What new tools actually do, checked against the public record.
- Community. Free clinics, school programs, mission trips and the practical guides patients need.
- The List. Our annual recognition of dentists to know.
How stories get chosen
Our editors pick stories for news value: impact on patients and communities, a new way of doing things, a milestone, a turnaround, or simply a story readers will remember. Anyone can nominate a dentist, including dentists nominating themselves. A nomination is a lead, not a guarantee.
For practices
Separate from the newsroom, Dentist News Today Studio helps practices tell their own story on their own channels. Studio clients get no preference in our coverage.
