      While some content within the ADA’s Guidelines for Practice Success™ (GPS™) module on Managing Marketing may discuss certain federal and state laws in very general terms, it does not and cannot address every federal and state law, rule or regulation that could affect the marketing and management of a dental practice. Each dental practice must be aware of and comply with applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations. This resource refers to various federal statutes and regulations, including those adopted by agencies such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and others. None of the information in this module has been reviewed or approved by representatives of those or any other federal agencies. The structure and design of each practice’s marketing plan will be unique to that practice and each practice should appropriately consider, and abide by, the federal and local stipulations regarding those activities.

      We have made every effort to make these materials useful and informative.
