Overview
The Dental Practice Act governs the practice of dentistry, defining what constitutes dental practice and which activities fall outside it, and establishing a state dental board with authority to license and regulate practitioners. It sets out the board's composition, member qualifications, terms, officers, grounds for removal, meeting and training requirements, and staffing, and grants rulemaking power over matters including advertising and competitive bidding, infection control, call coverage arrangements, and control of dental practice. The act also addresses licensing fees, the confidentiality and maintenance of board records, monitoring of license holders, civil liability, enforcement support, and the use of alternative dispute resolution and technology in board proceedings.
