title: Increased number of dental professionals in New York State counties.
abstract: Despite decreases in the population for 49 of the 62 counties in New York State between 2006 and 2013, the number of dentists increased in 52 counties. In addition, in 2013, there were more dental hygienists than dental establishments in 54 of the state counties. This change in landscape from 2000 to 2006, when the number of dentists decreased in 27 counties and a sizeable proportion of the state had little or no coverage, is reviewed using federal and state government reports.
