Questions

How many Korean-speaking dentists are there in Japan?
We list 254, in 21 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?
Osaka, with 77 of the 254.
Is Korean unusual for dentists in Japan?
5% of the 4651 dentists we hold in Japan are recorded as working in Korean. 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.
