What the count covers

34 NPPES records list public health dentistry (1223D0001X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Tennessee: 0.5 per 100,000 residents against 0.3 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Knoxville has 7 of them (21%).

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.
