What the count covers

458 NPPES records list dental hygienist (124Q00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Arizona: 6.2 per 100,000 residents against 4.7 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Phoenix has 63 of them (14%).

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.
