If a dentist works seven hours a day (not counting one hour for lunch) and if he sees one patient on average every hour, then one dentist will treat seven people each day, which is thirty five (35) in a five day working week.

If a dentist works for forty eight (48) weeks in the year (assuming four weeks lost to holidays/ sickness/ etc) then one dentist should be able to treat about 1680 patients a year. Since many dental issues are treated over several sessions, many of those "patients" would be the same person having repeat visits, so a reasonable (low ball) estimate is that one dentist could theoretically treat 1500 patients per year.

Therefore, a reasonable ratio is one dentist for every 1500 people.

What is ideal-dentist-population ratio?

The ideal dentist-to-population ratio varies by country and region, but a common benchmark is around 1 dentist for every 2,000 to 3,000 people. This ratio helps ensure adequate access to dental care and can contribute to better oral health outcomes in the community. However, factors such as geographic location, socioeconomic status, and local health policies can influence the actual need for dentists in a given area. Ultimately, the ideal ratio is also context-dependent, considering the specific healthcare demands of the population.
