Dentist licence (DDS/DMD)

Ki kantite moun ki gen sa a

202,485 professionally active dentists in the United States — 2024, the last year in the ADA series, published 2025.

Nou pa pral fè sa tounen yon pousan. We hold a sound count of dentists and a sound count of employed dentists and we are not dividing one into the other, because federal employment data counts employees and most dentists are self-employed practice owners. The ratio would read as though a third of dentists were not working in dentistry, and what it would actually measure is how many of them own the practice rather than being paid by one. De kont yo se son sou tèt li ak tou de yo te pibliye anwo a ak anba a. Divizyon yo ta pwodwi yon figi ki li kòm "pati detentè travay nan jaden an" ak pa ta dwe yon, se konsa nou pibliye de kont yo ak kite yo leve.

Ki sa ki gen ladan kont la: People, from the ADA's masterfile, and already filtered to those whose primary occupation is dentistry — private practice, dental school faculty, armed forces and federal services, state and local government, hospital staff, residents and interns. It EXCLUDES retired dentists, dentists not in practice or waiting for boards, and anyone whose main job is something else. That filtering makes it a different kind of count from most on this site: it is closer to a workforce than to a registry, which is exactly why we do not divide employment into it.

The ADA count is also filtered differently from most credential registries on this site: it already excludes retired dentists and those not in practice, so it is closer to a workforce count than to a register of everyone who ever qualified. Two counts that are each right, measuring populations that do not line up, is precisely the case where publishing the pair and refusing the percentage is the honest answer.

Kat ane apre li fin fini, nan dosye federal

Of 7,918 moun ki te fin Dentistry (DDS/DMD), first professional degree epi yo pa t ap aprann ankò 4 ane pita, 210 pa t gen okenn revni sou dosye a nan tout — 2.7%. Sa yo ki te travay te resevwa yon mwayèn de $170,812, ak mwatye mitan ant $110,187 ak $239,976.

“Pa gen okenn revni nan dosye” pa vle di “pa gen travay”. Se yon mezi ki montre pa gen okenn dosye sou salè ak okenn revni ki soti nan travay pou tèt ou pou ane a tout antye. Pa gen moun ki te mande si yo te vle travay, se poutèt sa kont la gen moun ki te kite fòs travay la pa chwa yo — pou yo te ka grandi pitit, pou yo te ka pran swen, pou yo te ka vwayaje, pou yo te ka viv sou revni yon lòt moun, pou yo te ka deplase aletranje — ansanm ak tout moun ki te vle travay men pa t gen okenn travay. Pa gen moun ki pibliye kantite sa a e nou pa pral fè yon deduksyon. Sa li montre se kantite moun ki te fini fòmasyon sa a epi ki pa t ap touche anyen de sa ni de nenpòt lòt bagay pandan kat ane, sa se egzakteman sa kantite salè ki anwo a pa ka di w.

Ki sa kòd pwogram lan kouvri: CIP 51.04 at first-professional level is the DDS and DMD. It does not include dental hygiene or dental assisting, which are CIP 51.06 and appear separately. Specialty residencies taken after the degree are also outside it.

Ki moun ki nan gwoup la: Moun ki te ale sou pou etidye plis yo pa nan nenpòt nan kolòn yo. Depatman an supprime inivèsite ak cohorts twò ti pou pibliye ak ajoute bri statistique a rès la, se konsa sa a se yon kantite lajan sou inivèsite gwo ase pou rapòte: 53 100 nan yo, rekiperasyon 98.6% nan kont nasyonal Depatman an pou pwogram sa a. Dropping pi piti pwogram rapòte deplase pousantaj la pa 0.0 pousan pwen.
