Notes
Professional-association self-report to FDI (NLO Reports 2024 compilation, published 2025-06). Round figure; counting basis (licensed vs practising, whether y si nha khoa are included) not stated. Jump from 7000 (2022 report) to 10000 (2024) likely reflects a changed estimate rather than measured growth. No official MOH/NSO national dentist count was retrievable (moh.gov.vn blocked by robots).
