Introduction

Dental Practice Management Software Statistics: Dental practice management software (DPMS) is a comprehensive tool to simplify administrative tasks and enhance operational efficiency within dental practices. It assists in handling patient records, scheduling appointments, managing billing processes, and documenting clinical procedures.

DPMS automates billing functions, facilitates appointment scheduling, and enables digital recording of dental treatments. Moreover, it includes features for electronic health records (EHR) to store patient data securely.

Additionally, DPMS supports inventory management, provides reporting functionalities for analyzing practice performance, and ensures adherence to regulatory standards such as HIPAA. With user training and support, DPMS helps dental professionals optimize workflows and deliver high-quality patient care.

GWAS summary statistics for dental caries and periodontitis/summary_statistics/single_trait

This annual report includes information on all patients that received NHS dental care in England for the 12-month period to 31 March 2014. Subjects covered include: dental activity, clinical treatment and dental workforce. Information on the number of patients seen by an NHS dentist for the 24-month period to 30 June 2014 is also included.

The data can be found within this publication under annex 5.

The global dental market is projected to grow to a value of around 37 billion U.S. dollars by 2021. Current indicators show that the market will continue to grow moving forward. The implant treatment segment is expected to be a main driver of the total market. Progress in the fields of medical technologies and implant materials as well as an increasing number of specialized dentists have brought down costs per dental implant treatment. Dental expenditures compared Exact dental expenditures vary by country. In recent history, 2018 has been the most expensive year for dental expenditures per household in the United Kingdom. However, dental care as a proportion of U.S. health expenditures has declined in recent years. Canada has also seen dental service expenditure growth in recent years, with a majority of their expenditures occurring in the private sector. Dental implants as a market driver The global dental market consists of many segments including prevention, prosthetics, orthodontics and equipment, to name a few. Within the dental implant segment, Europe holds the highest share of market revenue among all regions of the world. Despite Europe holding the highest share of the dental implant market, many countries in Asia have the highest costs for dental implants globally. The dental implant market is also profiting from an increasingly aging population, especially in developed markets.

Dentists’ data is compiled by the Department of Health as part of the Non-Monetary Health Care Statistics, administered jointly by Eurostat, OECD and WHO in fulfilment of the European regulation (EU) 2022/2294. These statistics are compiled and published on an annual basis and refer to the number of practicing dentists and dentists licensed to practice in the Republic of Ireland, as at end of the referenced ending calendar year. .hidden { display: none }

In 2024, approximately **** thousand dental practitioners were in employment in the United Kingdom (UK). In recent years the number of dental practitioners has generally decreased in the UK, since in 2015 there were still roughly 46 thousand dentists in employment. In the UK, dental practitioners provide general primary care dental services to patients and can either work completely inside the National Health Service (NHS), exclusively privately or a combination of the two. Who goes to the dentist? In 2023/24, it was found that only **** in ten adults visited the dentist in the past two years. The often-quoted advice is to have a dental check every six months, but the recommended time needed between consultations depends on the oral health of the individual. This means the time between check-ups can range from three months to even two years between consultations. Dental services A large number of respondents in a 2024 survey rated their experience of NHS dental services as positive. Some **** percent evaluated the services as very good, while a further ** percent valued their experience as fairly good. However, public satisfaction of dental services in the UK, and all other services of NHS, was at an all-time low in 2023.

As of 2024, California, Texas, and New York had the largest number of active dentists working. California was ranked first with over 30 thousand active dentists. Despite having the largest number of dentists working, these states were not necessarily the states with the highest dentists to population ratio. Dentistry within the U.S. – a supply cliff? Recent estimates have suggested that the dentistry workforce in the U.S. is lacking by over 10,000 dentists. However, some states host a much higher number of dentists per capita. The top three states with the highest dentist density were Alaska, Massachusetts, and, Hawaii, not including D.C. Despite variability across the United States, attractive salaries may be one way to attract more dentists to practice. In a recent survey of dental professionals, dentists that worked in non-solo private practices had some of the highest annual incomes among all dentists.

Dental access and use in the U.S. Dental use and access are staggeringly low in the United States. However, it is recommended that all people should visit their dentist regularly for cleaning and maintenance even if they have no dental issues. One barrier to dental care can be the high costs attached to some services and the lack of dental insurance to pay for care. While a majority of those that access dental services have some form of coverage to help them pay, a significant proportion of those accessing dental services are not covered by any type of insurance. Recommendations for increasing access to dental services include targeted public health programs, better insurance options, and increasing the dental workforce within the U.S.
