title: New York State dental workforce resources and incentive programs.
abstract: New York State enjoys a favorable dentist-to-population ratio when compared to the nation as a whole. However, New York still faces challenges, namely, an aging workforce and an uneven distribution of dentists. There are several opportunities available to dentists to find employment or locate practices in dental health professional shortage areas. Through these programs we can begin to address the needs of underserved populations.
