An Act relative to the licensing of limited registration dentists
H 4811 creates a new limited dental license for dentists working in educational or hospital settings. It allows individuals with specific qualifications (like dental college diplomas and faculty/intern roles at accredited institutions) to practice under supervision for up to 5 years. After 5 years of practice, they may qualify for a special license to work in private practices accepting MassHealth, but only under a supervising dentist. The bill restricts practice to designated hospitals or institutions and prohibits private office work without the special license. It directly affects dental professionals employed in academic or public health settings seeking licensure pathways.
