Interesting.
Having more pediatric dentists is great however, there could be too many at that point as crazy as that may sound.
With less younger people getting married and having children, their pediatric patient pool is diminished.
There was a report in January 2019 showing that the US fertility rate is at 1.765 or 16% below 2.100. It is part of a 10 year downward trend and the lowest since 1978.
This is also one reason why Toy R Us went out of business- less customers, among the other reasons.
