Economic Survey.Įvery five years a series of studies is carried out by the Census Bureau which provides an opportunity to review the basic economic well-being of the many industries at the national, state and county levels. New York State Dental Establishments and Dentists: 2007-2012. © International & American Associations for Dental Research 2015. Improvements in population oral health may imply substantial economic benefits not only in terms of reduced treatment costs but also because of fewer productivity losses in the labor market. Within the limitations of currently available data sources and methodologies, these findings suggest that the global economic impact of dental diseases amounted to US$442 billion in 2010. Indirect costs due to dental diseases worldwide amounted to US$144 billion yearly, corresponding to economic losses within the range of the 10 most frequent global causes of death. Direct treatment costs due to dental diseases worldwide were estimated at US$298 billion yearly, corresponding to an average of 4.6% of global health expenditure. For estimation of indirect costs, an approach suggested by the World Health Organization's Commission on Macroeconomics and Health was employed, which factored in 2010 values of gross domestic product per capita as provided by the International Monetary Fund and oral burden of disease estimates from the 2010 Global Burden of Disease Study. Estimation of direct treatment costs was based on a systematic approach. The purpose of the present study was to estimate the direct and indirect costs of dental diseases worldwide to approximate the global economic impact. In addition to treatment costs, there are indirect costs to consider, mainly in terms of productivity losses due to absenteeism from work. Reporting the economic burden of oral diseases is important to evaluate the societal relevance of preventing and addressing oral diseases.

The estimated economic impact of dental therapists in the United States on private dental practice is very limited therefore, the demand for dental therapists by private practices also would probably be very limited.
In addition, the effects on most dentists' gross income, hours of work, and net income are negative. The effects on price and utilization are even smaller.
For dental therapists treating children only, the range is 0.31 to 0.47 percent. Assuming dental therapists provide restorative, extraction, and pulpal services to patients of all ages and dental hygienists continue to deliver all hygiene services, the mean reduction in a general practice costs ranges between 1.57 and 2.36 percent. The analysis is based on national general dental practice data and the broadest scope of responsibility for dental therapists that their advocates have advanced, including the ability to provide restorations and extractions to adults and children, training for three years, and minimum supervision. Using a standard economic analysis, this study estimated the potential cost, price, utilization, and dentist's income effects of dental therapists employed in general dental practices. To address these issues, advocates of better oral health for the underserved are considering support for a new allied provider-a dental therapist-capable of providing services at a lower cost per service and in low-income and rural areas. In addition, most state Medicaid programs do not cover adults. Specifically, Medicaid reimbursement rates for children average 40 percent below market rates. Their major cause is the lack of reasonable Medicaid reimbursement rates for the underserved.
