Projected Supply of Dentists for Select States

The ADA Health Policy Institute (HPI) has predicted that, despite fears of a looming dentist supply cliff, the dentist workforce in the United States will actually increase through 2035 due to an influx of younger and more diverse dentists. But how will this play out at the state level? Will some states experience a greater dentist supply increase than others? HPI offers projections for ten select states, particularly those with some of the highest population concentrations.
