title: Massachusetts dental establishments in 2011: after the last recession.
abstract: Census Bureau reports for 2007 and 2011 (before and after the last recession) were used to develop data for "average" dental establishments in the counties of Massachusetts. Any changes should be considered while bearing in mind the American Dental Association (ADA) 2013 report indicating that spending for dental services has stagnated. In terms of these findings, the need for continued monitoring of dental establishment activities beyond the confines of one's own facility is emphasized.
