You are pretty close. The American Medical Association, (AMA), and the American Dental Association, (ADA), are the 2 different medical organizations that represent each group. Originally, they tried to set up one association but the dentists decided to form their own group. This has lead to group bargaining with insurance companies. Which leads to separate policies being needed.

You missed the part where Dentists are even greedier than your average Medical Professional.

They remain separate because Dentist groups spend Million ~~Bribing Politicians~~ Lobbying every year to keep it that way.
