Straightening up: Attempting to catch up on the treatment backlog boosts dentists' revenue

Revenue is forecast to expand at a compound annual rate of 0.8% over the five years through 2023 to €973.1 million. Financial pressures on the Health Service Executive caused the public provision of dental care for medical card holders to be slashed, reducing the amount of preventative dental services consumed by the public but resulting in more incidences of tooth extractions and other emergency work. Although public cuts have benefited private-sector practitioners, the effect has been negative overall because patients have ultimately decided to forgo treatments until it is absolutely essential.
