WSDA and the Washington Dental Hygienists’ Association have worked together to develop a survey for dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants in order to assess the needs and trends of our state’s dental workforce. The surveys have been released by the Department of Health and a survey link for each profession is included below.

WSDA intends to use the data from this survey as a tool to help address the current dental hygienist and dental assistant shortage in our state.

Please take a few minutes to complete this important survey! WSDA encourages you to share this survey with your dental team and colleagues.

Your responses will provide invaluable insight into the current state of Washington’s dental workforce and help better inform future dental workforce-related discussions.
