- December 30th 2025
Dr. Glenn Vo sits down with Dr. Brett Kessler, Past President of the American Dental Association, for a candid conversation about what really happens inside the ADA advocacy, budgets, member value, and why unified dentistry matters right now.
They unpack:
⦁ How Dr. Kessler’s leadership journey started (and why “getting involved” isn’t a secret club)
⦁ What the ADA tackled this past year: wellness, advocacy, fluoride legislation, and organizational restructuring
⦁ Why member dues matter and what happens when dentists “check out”
⦁ How the ADA approaches DSOs, insurance, and professional autonomy
⦁ What’s next: Oral Health 2050 and the future of oral health delivery
