“Can a pediatric dental specialty practice capture uninsured families through a direct membership plan model rather than traditional insurance?”
Lollipop Dental is a pediatric dentistry and orthodontics specialty practice in California serving children and families.

The embedded finance stack is minimal and oriented around a small business running payroll and basic operations.
