What the shortage designation means here

HRSA designates Petersburg as a Dental Health Professional Shortage Area on the following basis: HPSA Population. Scores run 0–26, and a higher score means a more severe shortage relative to population.

A designation describes the supply of dentists overall. It does not measure how many of them accept Medicaid — which is the gap this project exists to document. See the statewide dashboard for how Petersburg compares across the Commonwealth.

How this list was built

Every practice here is listed in DentaQuest's Cardinal Care Smiles provider directory (July 1, 2026). Practices are assigned to Petersburg by geocoding their street address against Census boundaries, not by their mailing town. That distinction matters in Virginia: the Commonwealth has 38 independent cities that sit outside any county, and mailing addresses cross those lines constantly.

Of 1,399 practice locations in the Virginia directory, 1,269 were placed by street address and 81 by a ZIP code that lies entirely inside one locality. The remaining 49 could not be placed and are left out rather than guessed at — they can still be found by ZIP code search. Dental anesthesiologists, who work inside other practices, are not listed.
