About The Dentist's Choice
We offer and grant franchises to certain qualified individuals to develop and operate dental handpiece repair businesses under the name "The Dentist's Choice" and our Franchise Agreement. We call the "The Dentist's Choice" Business that you will operate your "Franchised Business." In operating your… TERRITORY (Item 12): this franchisor grants an exclusive territory as described in its FDD.
Territory — what the FDD says (Item 12)
Under this brand's Item 12 rule, the franchisor grants an exclusive territory: while your agreement runs, the franchisor may not place another franchisee — or operate a competing company unit — inside your territory's boundaries (subject to the carve-outs in the FDD). Areas inside an existing franchisee's territory are therefore not available to a new buyer.
The FDD's own words (Item 12): “this franchisor grants an exclusive territory as described in its FDD.”
Where The Dentist's Choice operates today

Why two unit counts? The Key figures above cite 118 franchised units (Item 20, p.33) — the franchisor's reported franchised-unit total. The map above sums Item 20, Table 3 (franchised outlets by state at fiscal year-end), which totals 98. The two Item 20 figures are compiled on different bases, so they need not match.
