By Rick Cohen and Chuck CohenTHE DENTISTS ON our fourteenth annual 40 Under 40 list (page 22) make an impact in two important ways. First, they excel as individuals through their clinical excellence and business innovation.

Turnover from year to year makes our annual 32 Most Influential list a microcosm of dentistry’s churn.

Our annual list of dentistry’s most influential people is led by someone who made it his purpose to change the way insurance operates. Maybe we should also focus on changing how people think of it. IT’S EASY TO pick on insurance companies, and often they deserve it. Yet dental plans play an undeniable role in encouraging patients to see their doctor regularly.
