Notes
Structural null (DECISIONS L8): dental hygienist is not a licensed profession in Taiwan, so no register count exists. Dental hygienist is not a separate licensed category in the clinic personnel dataset columns reviewed. Confirmed 2026-11-09: also absent from MOHW table 1.7 (end-2025) and table 1.4 (licences issued); MOHW 2018 statement shows the Oral Hygiene Personnel Act was only a draft. Dental assistants are unlicensed. See tw.dental_hygienists_total.2018.
Metric definition
Dental hygienists (headcount); some markets register oral health therapists instead (see notes) All markets for this metric.
