Dental corporations hire dentists as 1099 employees and provide a minimal standard of care to patients. Dentists are not free to do what they know, through training and experience, to be the best solution for the patient, but must, instead do as the corporation directs or lose their jobs. Dental corporations exist to make money for shareholders and generally demonstrate little interest in long term patient welfare. They appear to know nothing about the triple bottom line or if they do know, they don't act on the information. By contrast, dentists who work in their own practices see themselves as healthcare professionals and community leaders whose responsibility is to their patients, and not to a faceless corporation. To confuse these two very different ways of providing dental care is to do a serious disservice to dentists in traditional practice and to the public. To them, dentistry is not a business as much as it is a vocation. With regard to the content of the
Sustainable Dentistry page, it is a work in progress that will be greatly expanded in the near future.Robin McMullen 21:57, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Disagree with merge. Currently, there are two kinds of dentistry available in the US. One is the traditional dental practice, comprising one or a few dentists who own the practice, hire the staff and are responsible for providing a high standard of care to patients. The other is corporate dentistry.

Agree with merge, there's a large overlap between both topics. Most of the redundant content doesn't even need merging and should be omitted, as it is already covered in a broader business context (aside from the medical aspect, dentistry is just one business among hundreds). The current
