Abstract
Few studies have adequately examined the leisure time activities and community participation among dentists. The present report examines the recreational and community activities of 413 practicing dentists in the United States. The findings demonstrated that dentists in the present sample were more recreationally oriented than community oriented. Recreation was most often interpreted as meaning sports activities. Dentists were noticeably different in sports participation from the general male population in that dentists tend to prefer individual or partner sports over team sports. Participation in community activities was analyzed by age and income. Age and participation in community activities demonstrated a positive moderate correlation and participation does not decrease with the age of the dentists.
