What the count covers

37 NPPES records list prosthodontics (1223P0700X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Louisiana: 0.8 per 100,000 residents against 1.1 nationally (50 states and D.C.). New Orleans has 15 of them (41%).

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.
