In 2023, the number of dentists licensed to practice in Denmark was a baseline from which future forecasts were developed. By analyzing the forecasted data from 2024 to 2028, there is a subtle but consistent decline. Specifically, from 2024 to 2025, there's a decrease of approximately 0.22%. This trend continues annually with similar percentage reductions, culminating in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that shows a gradual decrease in the number of practicing dentists over the five-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch for:

The impact of demographic changes and potential retirements on the overall number of professional dentists.
Policy changes or educational incentives that could alter the trend positively or negatively.
Technological advancements in dental care and their effects on the necessity for physical practitioners.
