We are pleased to share that the Board presented proposed changes to the rules related to the practice of dentistry at the March 12, 2026, meeting of the Legislative Administrative Rules Committee. The Committee approved the proposed changes--which will now take effect on April 1, 2026.  We greatly appreciate the suggestions, input, and support many of you provided during this year-long process, and we look forward to the increased efficiencies these changes will have on dental offices and in Board operations. You may review the changes at the links provided below.
