South African dentists surveyed suggested training fewer dentists and more dental auxiliaries. They also noted concerns about the high cost of private dental practices.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Dental Workforce Planning
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • The National Oral Health Survey aimed to understand the perspectives of private practice dentists in South Africa.
  • Assessing future human resource needs is crucial for effective healthcare planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To gather and analyze dentists' opinions on future human resource requirements in South African dentistry.
  • To identify key themes and predominant views regarding dental workforce composition and services.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative data were collected from 2600 dentists in private practice.
  • Responses were analyzed using frequency distribution and classified into five major categories.

Main Results:

  • The predominant opinion was to train fewer dentists and increase the number of dental auxiliaries.
  • Other significant categories included the need for more dentists in developing areas and concerns over practice costs.
  • Less support was given to the need for enhanced preventive and health education services.

Conclusions:

  • The findings suggest a perceived surplus of dentists and a need to shift training towards auxiliary dental professionals.
  • Addressing the cost of private dental practice and potentially increasing service provision in underserved areas are also key considerations.
