Tennessee may soon face a dentist shortage despite a current oversupply. A new project aims to forecast dental personnel needs using state-specific data to prevent future workforce imbalances.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Dental Public Health
  • Workforce Planning

Background:

  • Current dental workforce estimates for Tennessee rely on a formula from Kentucky and limited data.
  • Projections indicate a shift from a slight dentist oversupply to a potential shortage by the year 2000.
  • Accurate forecasting requires state-specific data on dental personnel supply, need, and demand.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a comprehensive database for forecasting and monitoring dental personnel trends in Tennessee.
  • To inform policy and planning to avoid past workforce miscalculations.
  • To bridge the gap between dental practitioners and dental education.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a modified Kentucky formula with available Tennessee data for initial estimates.
