DENTIST
Contributors who listed DENTIST on federal itemized receipts account for $37.2M, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 96,941 contributions from 3,886 donors. DENTIST is a self-reported employer/occupation string, not a NAICS offices-of-dentists sector, and it is not merged with PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, or a dental-group name. ADA membership and state dental-board rosters are different lists.
Key figures
- DENTIST-labeled receipts total $37.2M.
- 3,886 donors produced 96,941 contribution lines.
- PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and practice names are separate strings.
- DENTIST is self-reported FEC text, not a NAICS industry.
A clinical title in the industry table
Many dentists type DENTIST in both FEC boxes. Others type a practice name or D.D.S. Those variants are other keys if the stored text differs. The $37.2M total is the DENTIST string.
NAICS 6212 is not applied by the FEC. LobbyVault does not recode this title into that sector. Oral surgeons or hygienists who typed other words are elsewhere.
3,886 donors and 96,941 lines
3,886 donors produced 96,941 DENTIST contribution lines totaling $37.2M. Unique-donor count is in the same band as REAL ESTATE with a smaller dollar total. Repeat giving explains receipts above unique donors.
Party share is not on this industry headline. Specialty dental PACs, if they exist, are committees — not this individual-label rollup.

Questions
- How much have DENTIST donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $37.2M to the DENTIST FEC string, from 96,941 contributions and 3,886 donors. PHYSICIAN and practice-name employers are separate. The label is not a NAICS dental-office total. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Does this include dental hygienists and specialists?
- Only if they typed DENTIST. Other titles and group-practice names are other industry keys. The $37.2M figure is the DENTIST string only. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Is DENTIST merged with DOCTOR?
- No. They are different free-text values. LobbyVault keeps separate rows because the FEC file does. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. This answer uses only the packet totals for that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov, with no NAICS overlay applied.
- How many unique dentist donors are listed?
- The rollup counts 3,886 donors and 96,941 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a dental-board census. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
