The author quotes several studies that imply dentists have higher rates of suicide & more psychological & social problems than other professional groups. Rates of 77.9-83 per 100000 are cited, from varying US studies. He states that far more data is needed before the contention that dentists are a “…uniquely emotionally-overstressed or psychopathic professional group…” can be accepted. 5 ref. (NBB)
