Another growing industry throughout the UK is the dentistry field. It's not just dentists that are in demand, but the support staff related to dentistry as well. The salaries also vary widely depending on the level or position of someone in the dentistry field. They can range from £21,055 per year all the way up to £93,960 per year for actual Dentists and Orthodontists. In particular we are seeing high requirement of Dental hygienists. Due to the popularity of this role, there has been quite a big pricing war. The average salary we see for dental hygienists, with the current high being around £40,000, is definitely soon to go up, as they help handle these routine procedures without the need for a dentist.
Types of support positions available in Dentistry
There will be a shortage of around 10,000 dentists by 2025 simply because there are not enough people becoming dentists, and thus there will be a huge demand for support staff. These roles typically will need reduced levels of education compared to dentists but will have a highly specialised in-demand career for a very long time. These positions are Dental Nurse, Dental Technician, Dental Assistant, and Dental Hygienist. Each of these roles is meant to get more people into the field of dentistry and to support dental offices throughout the UK. In addition, the support staff themselves mentioned above are intended to take off some of the burden and responsibility a dentist would typically need to do to free the dentist up for more technical activities.
