Structural changes and influencing factors of human resource allocation for oral health in China
Age of 45 ~ 54 and years of work experience of more than 10 years show an overall negative trend. College and undergraduate education show a positive trend. Per capita health expenditure and per capita disposable income are the main factors influencing the allocation of human resources for oral health. Therefore, the administration should formulate inclined policies to continuously strengthen the introduction and cultivation of human resources for oral health, and all medical institutions should emphasize the academic education and continuing education of dentists, so as to comprehensively promote the development of oral health in China.
