Approximately 2 million Romanians will cross the threshold of dental clinics during December 2024 to undergo various dental treatments, according to data from LIFE Dental Spa and VIVO Dental.
Thus, LIFE Group also estimates that the threshold of dental clinics will be crossed in December, on average, by about 250 patients per dental unit out of the 7,800 dental clinics across the country, resulting in a total of about two million patients.
At the end of November, the number of appointments for December was already 20% higher than in a typical month, and this was largely due to the arrival of relatives who had gone abroad, bonuses received by employees in the last month of the year or plans to pay more attention to the quality of life.
A significant increase this year in the number of patients is observed from Romanians coming to the country during December, where over 250,000 Romanians from the Diaspora are expected both for the holiday period and to spend time with family and friends.
