Abstract
In Healers Versus Stealers (2023), David Harris highlights that dentistry faces over $1 billion in embezzlement annually. Harris, CEO of Prosperident, offers strategies to prevent theft in dental practices. Embezzlement involves not only cash theft but also fraudulent use of payments, payroll manipulation, and misappropriation of supplies. Prosperident provides investigation and preventive services, such as Owner Proactive Strategies, to help dentists safeguard their finances. The MDA endorses Prosperident and offers members discounts and free risk assessments. Orthodontic practices are particularly vulnerable to embezzlement, making preventive measures essential for all dental professionals.
