Too busy to read the 2,074-page healthcare reform law -- and the 153-page reconciliation act that modified it? The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) has boiled the oral health provisions down to a 20-page document on its Web site.

The "Overview of Health Care Reform: Impact on General Dentistry and Small Businesses," written by Washington Strategic Consulting, gives a brief summary of the overall bill, then offers a section-by-section translation of the law's dense legalese into plain English, according to the AGD.
