Gender equality in dentistry has made significant strides globally and in Europe. The number of women working in dentistry has notably increased, with up to 75 percent in Finland. Various estimates suggest that women in dentistry could make 40% of all professionals in the field in Europe. Given that the first female dentists appeared in some European countries only a hundred years ago, the progress made is truly remarkable. However, in terms of opportunities, income, and career development, there is still a lot of work ahead.
