How the profile-density calculation works

Formula: canonical Dental.me public practice profiles divided by the jurisdiction's 2025 Census resident population estimate, multiplied by 100,000.

Dental.me numerator: practice profiles whose current indexation status is indexable or indexable_basic in the August 5, 2026 production snapshot. Archived, duplicate, draft, and unsafe records are excluded.

Population denominator: the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 resident population estimate for July 1, 2025. Download the official Census source file.

Scope: the 50 states, District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands remain active Dental.me directories but are excluded because the comparable Vintage 2025 state-total file does not contain rows for them.

Interpretation: a higher ratio means Dental.me currently organizes more canonical practice profiles relative to population. It does not establish the number of licensed dentists, clinical capacity, appointment availability, affordability, travel time, or access to care.

What the coverage fields show

Google/Maps coverage identifies canonical profiles with a stored Google Place ID or Maps URL. Rating coverage requires both a rating and review count. Website coverage identifies profiles with a stored practice website. These fields show the depth of Dental.me's structured directory data and can change as practice teams submit updates and Dental.me refreshes source-backed business information.

Frequently asked questions

Which jurisdiction has the most Dental.me practice profiles per capita?

District of Columbia has 133.9 canonical Dental.me practice profiles per 100,000 residents in this snapshot.

Does this dataset measure dentists per capita?

No. It measures canonical Dental.me dental practice profiles per capita. A practice profile can represent an office with one or more providers, so the ratio is not a dentist-workforce count.

Does a higher profile-density ratio mean better access to dental care?

No. The ratio measures Dental.me directory coverage. It does not measure appointment supply, affordability, insurance participation, travel time, or clinical capacity.

Why are four U.S. territories not ranked?

American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are active Dental.me directories, but the comparable Census Vintage 2025 state-total source file does not include rows for them.

How often can the data change?

Dental.me profile counts and coverage fields can change as source-backed records, owner updates, corrections, and enrichment data are processed. The CSV records the Dental.me snapshot date and Census reference date used for this edition.
