What the count covers

969 NPPES records list dental assistant (126800000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in California: 2.5 per 100,000 residents against 0.8 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Los Angeles has 145 of them (15%).

A record is a registration a provider made and keeps up to date: it shows neither that the provider is licensed nor that they still practice there. The state's own license search is the check.
