…as well as the percentage of practices saying they began seeing non-emergency patients. Furthermore, almost 20% of dentists in the survey responded that patient volumes are at or close to normal levels again.

 

 

As expected, these levels are not consistent everywhere as certain states are slower to open.  For instance, in New York about 59% of dentist say they are still at less than 25% volume.  Pennsylvania is at similar levels.  Meanwhile, only about 12% of dentists in Florida were still operating at less than a quarter of typical patient volumes.

 

Overall, a great trend that we will continue to keep a close eye on.
