European countries exhibit wide disparities in the number of dentists practising. Serbia leads with 4.4 dentists per thousand health professionals, whereas Liechtenstein has the lowest at 0.673. Year-on-year variations in 2023 show significant increases in Switzerland (4.55%) and Serbia (1.93%), while Malta (-4.25%) and Romania (-4.34%) experienced the largest declines. The United Kingdom and key EU countries like France and Germany have relatively stable figures with minor fluctuations.
Forecasts suggest a focus on dental healthcare infrastructure and policy changes could impact future trends. Countries with declining numbers, including Malta and Romania, may need targeted interventions. Advancements in dental technology and shifts in healthcare funding are potential game-changers for the European dental landscape.
