Notes
Image table (transcribed). Value = living holders (2,846); 2,887 includes 41 deceased. Counts are certificates/diplomas by specialty, so a dentist holding two specialties is counted twice (the year-split table notes at least one such case, total 2,888); true headcount is slightly lower. Data as of 15 Oct 2026 (year-split table footnote 'ถึงวันที่ 15 ตุลาคม 2569'). Includes 'general dentistry' (ทันตกรรมทั่วไป, 329) diplomas, which some countries would not count as a specialty. Not a practising count.
