Notes
No reliable figure found. The yearbook publishes one combined allied 'Dental' speciality: 13,112 in all sectors in 2024 (Saudi 10,234; non-Saudi 2,878; MOH 6,545, private 4,180). It mixes hygienists, dental assistants and technicians under SCFHS classification, so it is not a hygienist count (ruling L6: no proxy presented as a count). Proposed metric `dental_allied_total` would hold it. Lead: SCFHS registry by job title.
Metric definition
Dental hygienists (headcount); some markets register oral health therapists instead (see notes) All markets for this metric.
