牙科做法在费用、人员配置和低需求方面挣扎,促使费用上涨和新的支助努力。 Dental practices struggle with costs, staffing, and low demand, prompting fee hikes and new support efforts.

根据《反倾销协定》最近的报告,全国的牙科做法面临持续的财政和人员配备挑战,费用上涨,病人需求低,以及卫生工作者和助理人员培训业务持续短缺。 Dental practices nationwide face ongoing financial and staffing challenges, with rising costs, low patient demand, and persistent shortages of hygienists and assistants straining operations, according to recent ADA reports. 自2025年初以来,三分之二的牙医提高了收费,而劳动力招聘仍然困难重重。 Two-thirds of dentists have raised fees since early 2025, while workforce recruitment remains difficult. 美国医疗协会推出了一套医疗补助金融可持续性工具, The ADA has launched a Medicaid Financial Sustainability Toolkit to help providers manage low reimbursements and administrative burdens. 与此同时,主要的牙科组织正在联合起来参加2025年牙科测试和监管峰会,通过慈悲得克萨斯州使团支持免费牙科护理,得克萨斯州已经任命了四名新的牙医委员会成员,包括一名新主席。 Meanwhile, major dental organizations are uniting for the 2025 Dental Testing & Regulatory Summit, supporting free dental care through Mission of Mercy Texas, and Texas has appointed four new members to its dental board, including a new chair.
