People often ask me on the phone, “What do you get out of doing these dental vouchers?” The professional response is that Dental Members Australia receive a commission for connecting the patient to the dentist, the dentist gains a new patient and the patient gets their much needed dental treatment.

In September we presented the DMA IT infrastructure and the concept of membership loyalty programs designed for dentists and patients. Over 35 practice owners from all around Adelaide attended.

We're excited and are now more…
