What the count covers

61 NPPES records list periodontics (1223P0300X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Louisiana: 1.3 per 100,000 residents against 2 nationally (50 states and D.C.). New Orleans has 21 of them (34%).

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.
