Each month, the American Dental Association conducts its “Economic Outlook and Emerging Issues” poll. In June, the poll found that 38 percent of dentists were recruiting dental hygienists, 39 percent were recruiting dental assistants, 30 percent were recruiting other dentists and 14 percent were recruiting administrative staff. Most dentists (72 percent to 94 percent) reported recruiting for each position to be “very” or “extremely” challenging.
