title: Should I stay or should I go?
abstract: Deciding the best option for your practice is by no means straightforward. It would be easy to look at the financial effects and simply decide to withdraw from the DTSS; however, consideration should be given to other factors such as the dentist's duty of care to patients, whether the practice facilities need to be upgraded and how your nearest dental competitor will react to your decision to withdraw. At the end of the day, it is an individual decision for each dentist, which should be based on facts, not assumptions, so do your homework and fully understand the impact of withdrawing on your practice.
