Definition

Dentists per 10,000 population (ISCO-08 code 2261), as reported to WHO's National Health Workforce Accounts, divided by the national population. Depending on the country's source, the count covers practising dentists only or all registered dentists.

Dental assistants and technicians are not counted. WHO revises these series, past years included, when new national reports or estimates come in, so values can change between retrievals.
