Dental surgery?

how many dental surgery procedures are performed in the United States a year

Dental surgery?
Nah, I think it's more like 30-40 MILLION. I can't find a number on the ADA site, but I did see that there were 176,000-some dentists in some form of active practice in 2001.





Let's say that there are about 175,000 dentists in practice of some form in the US. Let's say most do some surgery at least once every day. Some are surgeons, so that would make up for the dentists that don't do any surgery. (By "surgery," I am including dental extractions.) An "easy" work year is 200 days.





175,000 dentists x 200 working days x 1 surgery per day = 35 million a year
Reply:I would say 500,000 dental surgery procedure are performed in the United States in one year.
