I think Kool Smiles Dental press releases about “new jobs” is very misleading
Using buzz words and phrases such as “expansion”, “bright economic outlook” “provide jobs” leaves the reader feeling warm and fuzzy about Kool Smiles doesn’t it? Heck they are providing dental treatment for underprivileged children and children whose parents have fallen on hard times due to the poor economy and bleak job outlook. As the cherry on top they state they are providing jobs for states and local communities.
FANTASTIC!
Shoot, they even have lawmakers commenting about the fabulous news:

Central KY Commercial Real Estate Blog: NAI Isaac Brings Kool Smiles Dentistry to Elizabethtown, KY
Central KY Commercial Real Estate Blog: NAI Isaac Brings Kool Smiles Dentistry to Elizabethtown, KY
WARNING to Elizabethtown, Kentucky residents; it looks like you are about to become the unwitting prey of a Kool Smiles dental center.
Danger to your children awaits. Remember the dental mill mantra “Patients may be hard to increase, but billable procedures are not!” Creative dentistry at its best.
I feel Kool Smiles operates illegally in Kentucky under the statues of a Professional Service Corporation (PSC) where by the person owning and directing the “professional service” must be licensed by the “professional” board of the state, in this case the Kentucky Board of Dentistry and the person MUST perform those services. KRS 313.060 (3) no person shall conduct dental practice in their name unless he or she personally performs services as a dentist is such office. Not less then 1/2 of the officers of a PSC and ALL of the officers other than the secretary and the treasurer shall be qualified persons to perform the professional services. See KRS 274.027 and 274.045
Why the KY Dental Board ignores its own laws, rules and regulations is beyond me.

New Kool Smiles TV Ad – Don't Fall For It
Just caught the new Kool Smiles ad. It's lovely, and you know I'm puking and gagging.
Apparently since Kool Smiles is involved in multiple lawsuits for abusing children, and they are trying to unload this company to some Private Equity firms, they have decided to put out updated propaganda.
The two little happy face o's jump out of the Kool Smiles logo and take you one a whirl-a-way adventure through a Kool Smiles clinic.
"Fun way to keep your family's teeth healthy"
"Our office is built for the whole family, especially kids." as children slide down an indoor slide and climb all over a play yard.
"Plus, everyone is friendly, not just us. (speaking of themselves, those jolly little o's) If you want mommy can come back with you or watch through a window," showing the tiny port hole only allowing direct sight of children in they hygiene area.
Do you want strangers gawking at you through a window while you get your medical treatment done? Hell NO!
"We see everyone in the family, even kids as young as one," they boast.
Yes, those one year olds where they drill and cap all 8 teeth they have just in case they might get some decay between 1 and 6. Prevention you know.
"If you want quality dental care, in a clean, safe and fun environment, come to Kool Smiles."
It's just an ad folks, still stay far far away.
