Why do dentists have the I'm stil not sure if this is
just some joke that got out of
hand, or if it's true, but
I've heard it many times, and
not just off of The Whole Nine
Yards. My question is, is this
true, and if so, why? I can
understand if dentistry
students have a high suicide
rate, but why a dentist? They
make great money, their job
seems interesting, and
chalanging at times, plus they
have great hours, and don't
have to deal with people dying
right in front of them like
medical doctors do. Does
anyone know the deal about
dentists being suicidal?

This is one of those dodgy things that "everybody knows." And not just the uninformed public, either--dentists themselves believe it. Since the 1960s dental journals have been carrying articles with headlines like "The Suicidal Professions." Dozens of studies have looked at suicide not only among dentists but among health-care workers in general. With few exceptions, research over the past 40 years has found that dentists (and doctors) take their own lives at a higher-than-average rate. But how much higher? To hear some tell it, you'd better not leave these guys in a room alone. Dentists' odds of suicide "are 6.64 times greater than the rest of the working age population," writes researcher Steven Stack. "Dentists suffer from relatively low status within the medical profession and have strained relationships with their clients--few people enjoy going to the dentist." One study of Oregon dentists found that they had the highest suicide rate of any group investigated. A California study found that dentists were surpassed only by chemists and pharmacists. Of 22 occupations examined in Washington state, dentists had a suicide rate second only to that of sheepherders and wool workers. But the sheer diversity of results has to make you suspicious. I mean, which is it--dentists, chemists and pharmacists, or sheepherders and wool workers? (What, the bleating gets to them?) And what about psychiatrists? One school of popular belief holds that they have the highest suicide rate. Read the studies and you begin to see the problem. Suicide research is inherently a little flaky, in part because suicides are often concealed. Equally important from a statistical standpoint is the problem of small numbers: dentists represent only a small fraction of the total population, only a small fraction of them die in a given year, and only a small fraction of those that die are suicides. So you've got people drawing grand conclusions based on tiny samples. For example, I see where the Swedes think their male dentists have an elevated suicide rate. Number of male-dentist suicides on which this finding is based: 18. But you aren't reading this column to hear me whine about the crummy data. You want the facts. Coming right up. All we need to do, for any occupation of interest, is (a) find a large, reasonably accurate source of mortality statistics, (b) compute suicides as a percentage of total deaths for said group, and (c) compare that percentage with some benchmark, like so: PERCENTAGE OF DEATHS DUE TO SUICIDE U.S. white male population 25 and older (1970): 1.5 U.S. white male dentists (1968-72): 2.0 (85 of 4,190) U.S. white male medical doctors (1967-72): 3.0 (544 of 17,979) U.S. white male population 25 and older (1990): 2.0 U.S. white male medical doctors (1984-95): 2.7 (379 of 13,790) |

How will DENTISTS be affected Will it be good for dentists?
Will it be bad? Will dentists
make less money? Will dentists
make more money? Or will
universal healthcare only
affect medical doctors?
Because dentists have private
practices, which means the
government doesnt pay their
salary. However, the
government pays medical
doctors salaries. Any clue on
how universal healthcare would
affect a DENTIST?

Unless dental care become a part of the universal healthcare package, they will be unaffected. (no change--just market forces) |
