Abstract

General population demographics in the United States are undergoing dramatic changes. Long term customary populations which provided the bulwark for many successful dental practices are being replaced by the many minority populations, in particular the Hispanic population. Despite these significant general population developments, the demographic profile of the dental profession has experienced (and apparently – based on dental student populations – will continue to experience) limited changes. The economic strength of the profession may well be predicated upon its responses to these developments.

Keywords
