So it looks like Walmart is not the only one trying to put the 'dent' in dentistry
I read an article in the Sacramento Bee today that talks about brighter.com,
and online company that offers up to 60% discounts on basically all dental procedures for its members.
From what it looks like, they ask members to subscribe to the site and then they have unlimited access to as many procedures as they want? It looks like they are trying to help those who cannot afford dental care and those on Medical, but isn't this going to further drive down profits for dentists?
I guess it depends on what population you want to cater your practice to, but there are too many entities lowering the profits for dentists.
