RENEWAL NOTICE FOR DENTISTS, HYGIENISTS, AND ASSISTANTS
North Dakota statutes governing the practice of dentists,
hygienists, and assistants stipulate that to maintain your
North Dakota license/registration
you
must submit continuing
education and renew your license/registration no later than
December 31, 2007.
Online renewal is no longer available. You will need to
submit the appropriate forms.
Because your renewal was not postmarked on or before
December 31, 2007, you will now owe the late fee in addition
to the renewal fee.
There are no exceptions to the late fee. If you do not wish
to renew, please indicate such on the form and return it to
the Board address.
Your license expired December 31,
2007. You can not practice without a current
license. You will not be able to practice until your renewal
form, fees and continuing education have been received. If
the completed renewal has not been postmarked by February
25, 2008, your license will be cancelled.

DENTISTS -
ANESTHESIA ENDORSEMENT: If you
are renewing an anesthesia endorsement for general
anesthesia or deep sedation, moderate sedation (parenteral
or enteral), or minimal sedation, you may renew online, or
submit an application for renewal by requesting an
application from the Board or print the
Renewal
Application. The renewal fee for
anesthesia endorsement is $200. Initial applications for
anesthesia and sedation are available for download or by
request. The ADA recently modified it's guidelines for
the use of sedation by appropriately trained dentists.
Please review the ADA's Guidelines For The Use of
Sedation and General Anesthesia For Dentists. The NDSBDE
has amended its requirements and application process for
anesthesia endorsements accordingly. Information
is available on the Board's website or by contacting the ADA
directly for the Guidelines for Sedation. If you do not have
an anesthesia permit but wish to apply, please complete the
Initial Application for Anesthesia
Endorsement.
HYGIENISTS
- ANESTHESIA ENDORSEMENT: Before
administering local anesthesia, a dental hygienist must
successfully complete a didactic and clinical program
sponsored by a dental or dental hygiene school accredited by
the Commission on Dental Accreditation, resulting in a
dental hygienist becoming clinical competent in the
administration of local anesthesia. A dental hygienist must
apply for a permit to administer local anesthesia by
completing an
Application for Local Anesthesia Permit.
DENTISTS AND HYGIENISTS -
INACTIVE STATUS:
If you practice dentistry or hygiene out of state or have
retired, you may wish to consider the inactive status to
retain the license in good standing and avoid cancellation.
Upon payment of the inactive status license fee of $35.00
annually, a licensee may request to have their license
placed on 'inactive status' upon expiration of the license.
While on inactive status, the licensee may not engage in the
practice of dentistry or hygiene in the state until the
individual meets the reinstatement requirements set by the
Board. Please review the
Reinstatement
Requirements
or
contact the Board office to receive an
Application for Inactive Status.
