With rising dues, is it worth renewing with the ADA? YES … for lots of reasons!

Think about how much you’re (not) loving medicine today and why you chose dentistry over it. Here’s the deal: The day the ADA becomes as weak as the AMA, your game is over. Your debt will stay with you, and your income will be cut in half. Your clinical decision-making will be gone. End of story!
