Cyberattacks are rapidly becoming a serious threat to the dental industry. From small private practices to large dental organizations, no one is immune. Ransomware, data breaches, and system shutdowns are disrupting care, exposing patient data, and causing significant financial and reputational harm.
Recent incidents highlight the urgency. Dental Care Alliance's 2020 breach affected over one million patients. In 2023, Henry Schein—a major dental supplier—was hit by a ransomware group, impacting over 160,000 individuals and crippling parts of the dental supply chain. Even national organizations like the American Dental Association have been targeted.
Many dental practices remain vulnerable due to outdated systems, weak passwords, lack of staff training, and the absence of multi-factor authentication. These oversights create easy entry points for cybercriminals.
