Taxonomy Description
A dentist is a person qualified by a doctorate in dental surgery (D.D.S.) or dental medicine (D.M.D.), licensed by the state to practice dentistry, and practicing within the scope of that license. There is no difference between the two degrees: dentists who have a DMD or DDS have the same education. Universities have the prerogative to determine what degree is awarded. Both degrees use the same curriculum requirements set by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation. Generally, three or more years of undergraduate education plus four years of dental school is required to graduate and become a general dentist. State licensing boards accept either degree as equivalent, and both degrees allow licensed individuals to practice the same scope of general dentistry. Additional post-graduate training is required to become a dental specialist.

  • NPI NPI Number Validation

    How NPI Validation Works

    The NPI validation process uses the ISO-standard Luhn algorithm, a mathematical "handshake", to ensure that a provider's 10-digit ID is authentic and free of common typing errors.

    To verify the NPI 1659384840, we treat the final digit (0) as the Check Digit—the target answer we need to reach. The process begins by taking the first nine digits and adding a constant value of 24, which accounts for the "80840" prefix required for all U.S. health identifiers. We then double every other digit starting from the right and sum the individual digits of those results together. For this specific NPI, that total comes to 80. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (80 - 80 = 0).

    Digit-by-digit view

    Use the first nine digits for the calculation. Starting from the right, double every other digit. The last digit is the check digit and is not part of the calculation.

    Step 1: Double every other digit from the right

    Starting with the rightmost digit of the first nine digits, double every other value. If doubling creates a two-digit number, add those digits together.

    1 → 2 5 → 10 → 1 3 → 6 4 → 8 4 → 8

    Step 2: Add all digits plus the NPI constant

    Add the transformed values, the unchanged digits, and the constant 24.

    2 + 6 + 1 + 0 + 9 + 6 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 24 = 80

    Step 3: Find the amount needed to reach the next multiple of 10

    The next multiple of ten after 80 is 80. The difference is the calculated check digit.

    80 - 80 = 0
    This NPI is valid
    The calculated check digit is 0, which matches the last digit of 1659384840.
