Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (54.3%), education and gifts — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 17 manufacturers reported payments, led by Dentsply Sirona Inc at 25.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,955 and has fallen 86.9% since, to $257 in 2025. Among general practice clinicians in FL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 107 payments — averaging $54.61 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
