Census Bureau data indicate a continuing increase in the number and size of dental establishments in the period just prior to the recent recession. During this same period, the combination of a limited increase of the population in Oklahoma and limited proportional increase in the numbers of dentists and dental establishments resulted in decreases in population-to-dental facility ratios. The usual favorable expectations of an economic upswing after a recession for dental establishments may need to be tempered given these developments.
