“…It is noteworthy that the ratio of respondents who trained in Europe and the UK was very similar to that reported by Patel et al 15 who found that in 2010, 28% of GDPs registered with the GDC had not qualified in the UK. The sample can therefore be interpreted as representative in this respect.…”

“…Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom have reported an increase in the number of dentists migrating from the 2004/07 EU Accession States. For example, between 2007 and 2009, the number of the dentists from Bulgaria and Romania (2007 EU Accession States) contributed to the largest increase in EU dentists registered in the United Kingdom. This movement can have considerable impacts on the poorer and underserved regions of source countries.…”

In 2010, the World Health Organization Global Code of Practice for International Recruitment of Health Personnel (the WHO Code) was adopted by the 193 Member States of the WHO. The WHO Code is a tool for global diplomacy, providing a policy framework to address the challenges involved in managing dentist migration, as well as improving the retention of dental personnel in source countries. The WHO Code recognizes the importance of migrant dentist data to support migration polices; minimum data on the inflows, outflows and stock of dentists are vital. Data on reasons for dentist migration, job satisfaction, cultural adaptation issues, geographic distribution and practice patterns in the destination country are important for any policy analysis on dentist migration. Key challenges in the implementation of the WHO Code include the necessity to coordinate with multiple stakeholders and the lack of integrated data on dentist migration and the lack of shared understanding of the interrelatedness of workforce migration, needs and planning. The profession of dentistry also requires coordination with a number of private and nongovernmental organizations. Many migrant dentist source countries, in African and the South-Asian WHO Regions, are in the early stages of building capacity in dentist migration data collection and research systems. Due to these shortcomings, it is prudent that developed countries take the initiative to pursue further research into the migration issue and respond to this global challenge.

“…Whilst cultural proximity can be seen as a driving force behind this migration, further collaboration in terms of trade agreements has also contributed to this cause. The nature of this migration in Australia is somewhat different to the European Union free movement of personnel, where there are known language issues and reported variations in dental education and practice.…”

Dentist groups migrate to Australia for different reasons. The large proportion of the migrant dentist workforce sourced from lower middle income countries points towards deficiencies in oral health systems both for these countries and for Australia. The feminisation of the migrant dentist profile could in future affect dentist-practice activity patterns in Australia. Further research, especially on the settlement experiences of these dentists, can provide better insights into issues faced by these dentists, the nature of support that migrant dentists receive in Australia, the probable future patterns of work and potential impact on the dental workforce and dental service provision.
