Impact of COVID-19 on Germany Dental Services Market
The pandemic of COVID-19 had a significant impact on the German dental services market, resulting in lower demand, practise closures, and lower revenue for many dental practises. Due to safety concerns, many patients had their appointments rescheduled or cancelled, and dental practises had to incur additional costs to implement safety measures. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of technology in the dental industry, such as tele-dentistry, as dental professionals sought to continue providing care while minimising in-person contact. As the pandemic subsides and vaccination rates rise, the dental services market is expected to recover, but it may take some time to fully recover to pre-pandemic levels.
