Dr. Brett Kessler is the former President of the American Dental Association and a recognized leader in dental advocacy, wellness, and professional leadership. Known for his candid, service driven approach, Dr. Kessler has championed dentist well being, evidence based policy, and stronger representation for the profession. He’s also an endurance athlete and leadership catalyst committed to helping dentistry “grow from good to great.”

Dr. Glenn Vo sits down with Dr. Brett Kessler, former 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
