From a simple idea sparked by a friend’s call for help to leading a 10,000-member organization, Heather Colicchio transformed the landscape of dental office management.

In this episode, Heather Colicchio, founder and president of the American Association of Dental Office Management (AADOM), discusses the founding and growth of her project and its role in supporting dental office managers. Heather Colicchio founded the American Association of Dental Office Management after recognizing a lack of resources for dental office managers, inspired by a friend’s struggles with running a practice. Initially an entrepreneur with a chain of cafes, Heather grew AADOM into the largest organization of its kind, now with over 10,000 members. AADOM provides essential business education and has fostered a strong, supportive community of dental office managers. The organization focuses on helping managers navigate everything from insurance to technology, emphasizing their critical role as decision-makers in dental practices. Heather envisions AADOM continuing to lead in education and professional development, especially as the dental industry moves toward integrated, care-convergent models.
