In the AI era: what happens to Dokter gigi

Amplified by AI

Dentist roles are less affected by AI automation; AI is more of an assistive diagnostic tool (e.g., image analysis) enhancing efficiency, but core clinical procedures and patient communication still rely on humans. Overall demand is stable, with shortages in remote areas.
