What is dental accounting?

Dental accounting is bookkeeping and financial reporting for dental practices. It usually means recording insurance reimbursements and patient payments, paying supply, lab and equipment vendors, running payroll, depreciating equipment, and keeping cash steady between insurance deposits.
