Gender disparities persist in pediatric dentistry practice patterns and income, with women facing challenges in early career stages. Differences narrow in mid-career but reappear later, influenced by factors like childcare and ownership.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Gender Studies in Medicine

Background:

  • Women now constitute over half of pediatric dentistry program enrollees.
  • This demographic shift allows for comparative analysis of male and female practice patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate practice patterns, arrangements, time distribution, and income differences between male and female pediatric dentists.
  • To analyze these differences across various career stages.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary analysis of a 1991 American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry survey data (n=2,362).
  • Data categorized into three age-matched graduation cohorts: 1-5 years, 6-10 years, and over 10 years.
  • Comparison of practice patterns, time allocation, and income by gender and career stage.

Main Results:

  • Early career: Significant differences in practice patterns, with more males in private practice ownership and more females in academia or employed roles.
  • Established career: Males were more likely practice owners/shareholders; females more often in solo practices.
  • Time distribution: Women in earlier careers spent twice as much time on childcare.
  • Income: Males and practice owners earned higher incomes in intermediate and established careers.

Conclusions:

  • Gender-based differences in pediatric dentistry practice patterns and income are evident, particularly in early and established career stages.
  • Childcare responsibilities and practice ownership contribute to observed disparities.
  • Findings suggest early career women may prefer flexible employment due to work-life balance challenges.
