Common Dental School Application questions

I know that this is a DAT forum but I feel like whoever is in the DAT forum likely has encountered something similar before. I'm working on a supplemental application and even though this is not my first one to be submitted, I figured maybe you guys could help me and others like me come up with better ideas, than what I've already got down.

A common question that seems to be reappearing is:

What do you believe are or will be the biggest challenges facing dentistry?

I've shadowed a few dentists but for whatever reason it doesn't seem like this topic ever came up in conversation. How would you respond to this question?

If you're not aware of any problems, do some research. Also, think back to your shadowing (not necessarily conversations) and see if you can think of any problems that may have come up. then elaborate.

P. s. you'd do better posting this in the pre dental forum

I did post it on pre-dental but as I predicted I didn't even get a response yet. I have a few ideas I just figured somebody would be able to add to that. Thanks for the reply though.
