New York State dental establishments in the 1990's.

During the 1990s the number of dental establishments in New York State continued to increase at a slow rate, while the resident population per establishment remained stable. The number of dental facilities with fewer than five employees continued to decrease; employee salaries increased, but did not keep pace with the rate of inflation. Statewide averages, however, mask marked variations between counties. Bureau of the Census data provide important means for monitoring developments for the general profession and for individual practitioners.
