1. Dentist Suicide Rates Compared to Others
- The general U.S. suicide rate is about 0.42% of total deaths.
- One controversial study claimed dentists had a 7.18% suicide rate (8.02% for males, 5.28% for females).
- More reliable studies estimate around 1.8% of dentist deaths are suicides, slightly higher than the general population (1.2%).
- The CDC (2016) grouped dentists with other healthcare workers, ranking them 11th in suicide rates (19 per 100,000), far below jobs like farming (85 per 100,000).

2. Gender Differences
- Female dentists may have a slightly higher risk, but recent data (Austria, 2023) found no significant increase.
- Male dentists generally do not show elevated suicide rates in modern studies.

3. How Dentists Compare to Doctors
- Female physicians have a suicide rate 2.39 times higher than the general population.
- Male physicians have a lower overall rate, though older males may be at higher risk.
- Anesthesiologists have the highest suicide rate among doctors (290 per 100,000).
- Dentists were once thought to have higher rates than doctors, but current data does not support this.

4. Suicide Methods
- Doctors and veterinarians often use drug overdoses.
- Dentists have access to nitrous oxide, but there’s no strong evidence it leads to higher suicide rates.

38 dentists die by suicide annually in the U.S.

This would place them below:
Suicides
OB/GYN & Psychiatry (45 per year)
Dentists (38 per year)
Pediatrics (36 per year)

The old rule used to be:
MALE SUICIDE: guns, rope, drowning, car exhaust hose, jump off cliff/bridge/boat

FEMALE SUICIDE: pills, laughing gas
