Questions

How many English-speaking dentists are there in Japan?
We list 4522, in 27 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Tokyo, with 1000 of the 4522.
Is English unusual for dentists in Japan?
97% of the 4651 dentists we hold in Japan are recorded as working in English. Most of them come from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
