During the Health Screening Program at the ADA's annual session, 1,160 dentists completed questionnaires about their personal medical and dental visits within the past year. Findings from this study were compared with findings from other surveys of these behaviors in the general population. Results indicated that dentists visited dentists more often than did members of the general population. Dentists' visits to physicians were fewer than those reported by the general population.
