What this score means for Dentist (General).

The Dentist (General) role scores in the most AI-resistant band. The work that defines it — the physical, procedural, and relational core — is not on the table for current generative AI. Routine paperwork is being eaten; the actual job is not. Over the next 5 years the score is projected to drift down by 4 points based on the dentistry vertical's drift rate. Quarterly recomputes track the actual change.
