Sector challenges provide context, not product demand
Statistics Canada’s 26 March 2025 release reported staffing challenges at 82% of dentist offices and administrative, financial or operational reasons at 43%. The reference fiscal period ended between April 2023 and March 2024.
Follow the record
These broad findings do not measure clinic–laboratory order friction or willingness to buy ConnectDent. Use them to frame questions about staff effort, current systems and purchasing constraints, then investigate a specific handoff with the responsible organizations.
Interpret the result
A reachable market model needs distinct relevant organizations, a confirmed problem and realistic acquisition capacity. Do not multiply a national practice count by an illustrative subscription and present the result as attainable revenue. The original survey remains the authority for its methods and scope.
