Requires New Jersey State Board of Dentistry to include oralfacial pain as a special area of dentistry.
This bill requires New Jersey's State Board of Dentistry to officially recognize orofacial pain as a specialized area of dentistry. It directs the board to update its rules so that licensed dentists can formally announce this specialty in their practice, similar to other recognized fields like orthodontics or periodontics. The change allows dentists to obtain permits to publicly identify themselves as specialists in treating facial and jaw pain conditions. This policy update affects dentists in New Jersey who wish to specialize in orofacial pain and patients seeking to identify providers with specific expertise in this area.
