Dentists in Kerala at a glance
Quick facts for the Kerala cities listed here. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Taken together, the 7 Kerala cities with a page here have an estimated 23.8 million residents (about 238 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Kozhikode (4.4 million), Malappuram (4.3 million) and Thrissur (3.7 million), followed by 4 smaller cities. Population figures come from the UN's 2024 urban-area estimates for the biggest cities and from scaled Census 2011 data for the rest.
Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 63,000 hospital beds, including some 3,100 ICU beds, in an estimated 2,100 hospitals (roughly 810 public and 1,300 private). Kerala averages 2.63 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 62% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 29,000 doctors and 53,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. Dentists are registered separately with the Dental Council of India and are not included in the doctor count above. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many dentists practise in Kerala.
Kerala has infant mortality of 8 per 1,000 live births (India: 24) and modelled life expectancy of about 78.0 years (India: about 72). This page lists 7 dentists across these cities, and every city and sister city below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.
General information compiled from public sources (MoHFW, SRS 2024, CDDEP / One Health Trust, UN WPP 2024, Census 2011); estimates, not official counts, and not medical advice.

How to choose a dentist
- Check the qualification: BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery), with MDS for specialists such as orthodontists and endodontists.
- Verify registration with the Dental Council of India (DCI) and your State Dental Council and note the registration number.
- Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
- Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Combined listings cover individual dentists and dental clinics. MDS specialists (orthodontist, endodontist, periodontist, oral surgeon) focus on particular treatments.

Who is the best dentist in Kerala?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and city. Shortlist two or three dentists, check their qualification and registration with the Dental Council of India (DCI) and your State Dental Council, and compare facilities and communication.

How often should I visit a dentist in Kerala?
Most dentists suggest a check-up and cleaning every six months, or more often if you have gum disease, braces or a history of cavities. Early checks usually mean simpler and cheaper treatment.
Is root canal treatment painful?
With modern local anaesthesia the procedure is generally comfortable. Some soreness for a day or two is common. A root canal usually needs a crown afterwards to protect the tooth.
