Number of dentists could fall by third in 15 years, warns chamber head

The number of dentists in the Czech Republic could fall by a third within 15 years, the president of Czech Stomatological Chamber warned on Wednesday. Jiri Pekarek said it could happen that many patients would be unable to find a dentist, as few new people enter the profession in this country. He also said that medical faculties were not receiving sufficient funding to train new dentists.
