Answer to Question 1

In the last quarter of the 20th century, only 10 percent of dentists were specialists. This is expected to rise to about 30 percent. This is due in part to the decrease in the number of dentists trained, whereas the number of specialists trained remains constant, so that specialists form a greater proportion. It is also due to changing demographics. As life expectancy increases and dental health improves, more affluent patients who feel they need to be attractive will seek cosmetic dentistry. With an aging population, some dentists will specialize in geriatrics. New technologies that allow dental problems to be diagnosed and treated earlier will result in dentists who specialize in diagnostics.

Answer to Question 2
