In 2023, the number of licensed dentists practicing in Finland stood at approximately 1.03 thousand persons per health professionals. Analysis of the forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a stable trend with no significant year-on-year variation, as each year's value remains consistent at 1.03 thousand persons. This stability suggests a plateau in the growth or decline of the number of licensed dentists over the forecast period. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this five-year span is 0%, further supporting the notion of a stagnant trend in the number of licensed dentists.

Given this stability, future trends to watch for may include:

Changes in healthcare policies or funding that may affect the number of practicing dentists.
Shifts in demographics and population health needs that could influence demand for dental services.
Technological advancements in dental care which might alter the professional landscape.
Potential impact of international migration on the workforce of health professionals, including dentists.
