how many dentists are there in the usa?



Answers:
I am impressed by Marie's logic.

Go to http://www.ada.org for the latest figures, even broken down by specialty. I think she's correct, though.


Over a million
There are about 125,000 practicing dentists in the USA.
Assumptions: The population of the USA is approximately 270 million. Each member of population sees dentist on average twice per year. Each consultation lasts about 20 minutes. Dentist sees patients for about 6 hours per day. Dentist works for 45 weeks per year.
Reasoning: Then, dentist can have 45x5x6x3=4,050 consultations per year. Number of consultations required = 540 million. 540 million divided by 4,050 = 130 thousand.
