The data provided by the British Dental Association shows that in July 2020, out of 2,053 dentists, only 36% were ready to resume dental practices in the United Kingdom. Even though dental services resumed soon after the pandemic was controlled, fear among the target population and care providers regarding infection was persistent, which affected the market negatively. However, this market's downfall is estimated to be temporary because people needed root canals and other emergency procedures during the lockdown, and practices quickly adapted to the pandemic situation by safely providing emergency services.
