Notes

Dubai only, one licence category. It excludes dental services in polyclinics, specialised clinics, medical centres and hospitals, and all other emirates, so it understates dental sites badly (DHA reported about 4,162 licensed dentists in Dubai in March 2024, trade press, not verified). Do not use as a national count. Q1 2023 DHA figure reported in press: 82 dental clinics (not fetched).
