Who Is Dr. Anissa Broussard?
Dr. Anissa Broussard, DMD, is a dentist and the founder and CEO of Digital Floss, a dental marketing agency focused on getting dental practices found in AI search. She's the author of FOUND: How AI Chose Your Competitors, And What to Do About It Right Now, and she built Digital Floss's AI Visibility Assessment, a diagnostic that shows a practice exactly how AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews read its online presence. After more than 20 years chairside, she now focuses full time on one question: why AI tools recommend some dental practices and leave others invisible, and what dentists can do about it. She speaks on AI search for dentistry at conferences including the Yankee Dental Congress and the Florida Dental Convention.
A Dentist First
Anissa isn't a marketer who wandered into dentistry. She's a dentist, a DMD from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who spent more than two decades chairside before building an agency. That's the part that matters. She knows what a practice actually does all day, so when she explains why an AI engine recommends one dentist over another, she's explaining it in language dentists trust, from someone who has sat in the operatory.
Based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, she built Digital Floss because she was tired of watching talented dentists stay invisible to the patients who needed them.
What she's known for: AI search for dentists
Most patients don't scroll anymore. They ask. They open ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews and say "find me a good dentist near me," and the AI answers with a name. Anissa's work is about making sure that name can be yours.
Her core argument, in her words: "Traditional SEO doesn't guarantee visibility anymore. AI platforms pull from bios, videos, reviews, and social content." And: "AI doesn't reward paid placement. It rewards clarity, consistency, and authentic expertise." Everything she does at Digital Floss follows from that.
In FOUND: How AI Chose Your Competitors, And What to Do About It Right Now (foreword by Russell Brunson), Anissa lays out a 12-chapter playbook for how AI search engines decide which dental practices to recommend, and the specific moves a practice can make to become the answer instead of the omission. It's written for dentists and practice owners, not marketers. Get it at thefoundbook.com.
Anissa created Digital Floss's AI Visibility Assessment, a diagnostic that shows a practice how the major AI engines currently read its digital presence, where it's visible, where it isn't, and what to fix. It evaluates five areas and delivers a scorecard plus a roadmap. It's the practical starting point for any dentist who wants to know where they stand in AI search today.
Anissa speaks on AI search for dentistry at major industry events, including the Yankee Dental Congress and the Florida Dental Convention, and has keynoted at the AACD, Social Media Marketing World, and Funnel Hacking Live. Her work on AI visibility for dental practices has been covered by Dentistry Today, Compendium, Yahoo Finance, and others.
