About This Statistic

The number of dentists includes dentists in the given national and/or subnational area. Depending on the nature of the original data source may include practising (active) only or all registered in the health occupation. The ISCO-08 code included here are 2261.

MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2023 WHO slice recorded below. Aggregates, missing values, non-ISO geographies, conflicting duplicate observations, and every other year or dimension slice are excluded; MapTheory never imputes or interpolates missing countries.
