Most dentists have experienced aggression from patients

2020-12-08

Roughly half of U.S. dentists experienced verbal or reputational aggression by patients in the past year, and nearly one in four endured physical aggression, according to a new study led by researchers at NYU College of Dentistry. The study, published in the October issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association, is the first to document aggression toward dentists in the United States. Workplace aggression toward health care professionals is common, with health care settings second only to law enforcement in the rate of violent incidents. However, there are no studies of aggression toward dentists in the U.S. -- a workforce of 200,000 -- and only four studies have been conducted in other countries.
