Dental Associations receive nearly 50% of its monies from corporations
I’m sure this is quite normal, but there just seems like there is something wrong with it and I can’t lay my finger on exactly what it is. Not right now anyway, if you could see my house you would understand.
Seems like receiving a discount for using particular companies is one thing, but if said companies actually contributes to nearly 50% of an organizations income that is whole other ball of wax. I’m sure someone can enlighten me about this.
In the Tennessee Dental Associate 2010 Source Book it highly suggests it’s members use certain companies saying:
“When you use the services and products endorsed by the TDA, you not only obtain a good value but also assist in keeping TDA dues low. These companies provide the TDA with a royalty based on the amount of business generated by TDA members and their offices; non-dues revenue accounts for almost half of the TDA’s yearly income. When contacting these companies, tell them you are a TDA member”

Murder suspect arrested at place of employment–Kool Smiles!
Another example of the “quality” care brought to the “underserved” children by dental mills like Kool Smiles, Small Smiles and various others.
I mentioned in a post a month or two ago, I bet there were all kinds of criminals working in these places. I had in mind, child molesters since abusing children sets pretty well with the folks there.
However, it’s accused murders as well!
Just think of the children this dental hygienist had his hands on. He is accused of suffocating a 26 year old woman to death in 2004. Was he thinking about suffocating your child while he was so close to their little faces? Was he thinking about putting your child in the Charles River where he is accused of dumping Julaine? What about his co-workers? Aren’t you Kool Smiles folks ready to blow the whistle wide open on this retched company.
Probably! How could he not!
Think of all the personal information this creep had at his disposal? Scary!
Here is the woman he is accused of murdering. Julaine Jules, a Hatiean-American woman who had worked at a children’s museum.
North Carolina Senate Bill 655–HB 698–Dentistry Management Agreements

Click here to keep up with the Bill. See where it has been, and where it’s headed.
Wonder if this was designed to cut the head off the Michael DeRose head. It is my whole heartedly belief he still profits from the Medicaid Dental Centers k/n/a Smile Starters.
Within weeks of the $10 million dollar fine/settlement he and Dr. Tish Balance signed all the clinics were amazingly sold to one of their Lead Dentists, Dr. Raf Rivera. However, the management company remained-Root Dental Management.
In 2010 Michael DeRose was put on the no fly list, i.e. List of Excluded Individuals, where he is not to profit directly or indirectly from collecting Medicaid for services. Well, I consider the sham in North Carolina, Dr. Michael DeRose profiting indirectly
Wonder if Roger Walters is also still involved down there?

Small Smiles Dental Centers owners guided by Shari’ah-Sharia- Rules and Principles
Arcapita Bank-Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain-is the investment firm who purchased the Small Smiles Dental Centers/Church Street Health Management from the DeRose family in 2006.
The following statement is taken from Arcapita Bank’s Annual Financial Statement as of June 30, 2010, Ernst & Young auditors:
“…and that the Bank has complied with the terms of its banking license and has also complied with the "Islamic Shari’ah Rules and Principles as determined by the Shari’ah Supervisory Board of the Group.”
I’m thinking they would prefer me beheaded.

Dentists Beware: The Government May Want To Tell You How To Manage Your Practice
The North Carolina Senate recently upheld Senate Bill 655, which would require the North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners to examine all business contracts entered into by dental practices in their state.
No other state in the union has implemented such restrictions on dental practice management, or sought such inclusive authority over how dentists manage their business.
Talk about the far-reaching arm of the government!
I am amused at Ms. Hughes last state, about the far-reaching arm of the 
Value: $14 Million Dollars!
Of course that is only his “first” home.

Ohio’s AG sues Allcare Dental. Wonder how that will work out?
I’m guessing it will be a waste of time and energy but looks good to the voters. AG should be brining criminal charges against the Executive Director of the Dental Board. Her and the Dental Board member are the one that let them set up the illegally operated chop shops and screw the taxpayers of Ohio over, ripped them off and left the with no teeth at all!
By LISA CORNWELL
CINCINNATI (AP) - Ohio's attorney general has sued a closed New York-based dental chain, alleging that the company violated consumer laws by failing to provide services and products paid for by patients.
Allcare Dental and Dentures abruptly shut down its offices nationwide in January.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine filed the lawsuit Friday in Franklin County Common Pleas Court in Columbus. It seeks restitution for consumers and $25,000 in civil fines for each Ohio law violation.
The attorney general's office says it received more than 940 complaints against the company, mostly involving failure to deliver. DeWine's office says consumers disputed about $2 million in payments to Allcare in their complaints.
Telephone numbers listed for the Williamsville, N.Y.-based company have been disconnected. Court records did not list an attorney for the company.

American Board of Pediatric Dentistry Names New Executive Director
Dr. J. A. Dean is announced as the new Executive Director of the ABPD replacing Arthur J. Nowak, who currently is on the Advisory Board Member of Church Street Health Management.
Word is that upper management at Small Smiles Dental/Church Street Health Management is quite happy about this announcement, saying “…he’s from Indiana and we know him…”, referring to Dr. Dean.
Evidently they are hoping to get Dr. Dean to do what he can to make things favorable for CSHM. Hold you’re ground Dr. Dean. Just be forewarned.
