Challenges Relating to the Provision of Dentistry Services: Discussion
9:30 am
Dr. Catherine Gallagher:
That is certainly a factor. There are many dentists on the register who provide those kinds of services. There are some graduates who do that exclusively and do not necessarily provide any of what we would consider the traditional practices of dentistry. I do not think a huge number of dentists are only doing that, but it is one of many factors playing into the number of hours of dentistry that individual graduates and registrants are providing.
