54. American Dental Education Association Dentists and Demographics

55. American Dental Education Association New Dentist-to-Population Ratios for Various Dates Compared to 1980, the ratio of graduating dentists to U.S. population in 1990, 2000, and 2010 is significantly different. In 1980, there were more than 6,000 graduates, and the U.S. population was about 227 million, or a ratio of about one graduating dentist for every 38,000 Americans. In 1990, there were less than 4,000 graduates and the U.S. population was about 250 million, or a ratio of about one graduating dentist for every 62,500 Americans. In 2000, there were about 4,200 graduates and the U.S. population was about 281 million, or a ratio of about one graduating dentist for every 67,000 Americans. In 2010, there were about 4,800 graduates and the U.S. population was about 308 million, or a ratio of about one graduating dentist for every 64,000 Americans. If every one of the new schools under consideration were to open by 2020 with an average class size of 85 (overall graduating class size of about 6,200), with an estimated U.S. population of 335 million, then the ratio would be about one graduating dentist for every 54,000 Americans. We know that all of these new dental schools under consideration are not going to open. If we assume a more reasonable graduating class size of about 5,600, then the ratio in 2020 would be about one graduating dentist for every 60,000 Americans.
