    (Indiana University, 2021-02-01) Vaughn, Sierra; Maxey, Hannah; Floyd, Trey
    Determining the supply and distribution of Indiana’s oral health workforce is crucial to understanding the capacity available to meet oral healthcare needs of Indiana citizens. Such data can also be used to inform initiatives aimed at increasing diversity, cultural competency, quality of care, and dental care access in underserved communities. Data presented in this report provide a snapshot of key demographic and practice characteristics for the oral health workforce in Indiana. The 2020 Indiana Oral Health Licensure Survey Data Report presents key information derived from data collected from the dentist and dental hygienist re-licensure survey administered by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA) during the license renewal period.

    Determining the supply and distribution of Indiana’s oral health workforce is crucial to understanding the capacity available to meet oral healthcare needs of Indiana citizens. Such data can also be used to inform initiatives aimed at increasing diversity, cultural competency, quality of care, and dental care access in underserved communities . Data presented in this report provide a snapshot of key demographic and practice characteristics for the oral health workforce in Indiana. The 2018 Indiana Oral Health Licensure Survey Data Report presents key information derived from data collected from the dentist and dental hygienist re-licensure survey administered by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (IPLA) during the license renewal period. In 2018, 4,001 dentists and 4,996 dental hygienists renewed their professional licenses. Of those who renewed their license, 2,697 dentists (67.4%) and 3,521 dental hygienists (70.4%) reported actively practicing and had a valid Indiana license address and were included in this report. Marion County encompasses the largest reported oral health workforce full-time equivalents (FTEs): 376.7 FTE for dentists and 235.2 FTE for dental hygienists. Based on the survey samples, there are significantly fewer oral health professionals available to serve Indiana citizens in rural, less populous counties such as LaGrange, Crawford and Jennings Counties. Additionally, a relatively low proportion of dentists reported offering services to low-income persons (i.e. accepting Medicaid). This report details, 2018 Indiana Oral Health Licensure Survey Data Report, presents a snapshot of data on the dentist and dental hygienist professions to provide stakeholders with information needed to improve the quality and accessibility of oral health care for Indiana residents through policymaking, workforce development, and resource allocation.
