Dentistry has quietly become a profession led by women. The General Dental Council’s latest figures show that women now make up 54% of registered dentists in the UK — and 78% of the dental workforce overall once dental therapists, hygienists and nurses are counted, more than nine in ten of whom are women. Among dental students the balance tipped years ago: well over half of those training today are women. Researchers have called it a “silent transition” — the UK passed the female-majority mark for dentists around 2019, a little ahead of forecasts — and the shift is mirrored worldwide. In Pakistan, for instance, roughly two-thirds of dental practitioners are now women.
