Evaluating the Impact of Dentistsā€™ Personal Characteristics on Workforce Participation

With the graduation of more females from dental school, the dental profession is becoming more gender diverse. This study, conducted by the Oral Health Workforce Research Center (OHWRC), builds on previous work on gender diversity in dentistry. Researchers used data from the 2014-2018 American Community Survey (ACS) to evaluate the impact of dentists’ personal characteristics on variation in practice patterns and income.

This report describes the demographic and other personal characteristics as well as household/family characteristics of dentists by gender and discusses observed differences in employment participation that might impact service delivery over time.
