HEALTH RESOURCES - Dentists
Physicians  |  Dentists  |  Nurses
Hawai'i ranks 6th in the nation in dentists per capita.1 This ranking is largely driven by the high concentration of dentists on O'ahu, with 87 per 100,000 population, which is well above the national rate of 64. However, Hawai'i's rural counties experience a shortage of dentists with about 57 dentists per 100,000. Hawai'i, Kaua'i, and Maui Counties are each designated Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas by the Health Resource and Service Administration (HRSA).
