This wiki accepts contributions from people who work in the field: law firms that advise dental groups, DSOs and dental practices, vendors who handle a specific part of the operation, and business leaders who have built and run these structures. A contributed page credits one author, with a link to their website, and that author keeps it current.

How to submit

Email contact@getlemma.com with:
  • Your draft, or a description of what you want to write if you would rather agree the topic first. Any format works: a Word document, a Google Doc, Markdown, or the body of the email.
  • The name, organization, one-line description, and website URL for the credit.
  • The states or areas of dentistry you can speak to.
We read it, come back with questions where a claim needs a source or a section needs more detail, and edit for structure, length, and house style. You see the edited version before it publishes. We may decline a draft, usually because it duplicates existing coverage, reads promotionally, or makes legal claims we cannot source, and we say which.

​
What is most useful

The most useful contributions are the ones only you can write. The 51 state pages are summaries built from primary sources. Someone who practices in a state knows things the statute does not say. Corrections and updates are welcome on the same terms. See How we keep this current for what to send.

​
Neutrality

Every page here is written to be useful to a reader who will never be your client or customer, and contributed pages are held to that standard. Write the analysis as you would explain it to a peer, including the inconvenient parts, the tradeoffs, and the places where a rule is unsettled. Where other practitioners read it differently, say so and explain why. You benefit from writing here because the work shows what you know. We will not publish an article written as an advertisement. In practice:
  • No sales language, calls to action, or pitches for your services.
  • No claims about your firm or company being the leading, largest, or best at anything.
  • Where you describe a vendor category your company competes in, apply the same criteria to yourself that you apply to everyone else, or leave the comparison out.
  • Illustrative examples from your own work are fine. Case studies structured as a testimonial are not.

​
Adopt a page

A contributed page carries a credit at its foot: the author’s name, firm or company, a one-line description of what they do, and a link to their website. One author per page. We do not credit several people on one page, so where two contributors want to write on the same subject we scope them to different pages. Your name and your business are on the page, so we ask you to keep it current: review it when the law, rule, or payer behavior it describes changes, and once a year regardless. Send the revision to the same address and we handle the edit.

Standards a draft has to meet

We handle formatting. Send us the substance and we’ll make sure the content looks good on the website.
