HB 2921 establishes licensing requirements for dental therapists in Oklahoma, defining their scope of practice and supervision standards. It requires applicants to complete accredited education programs, pass national and clinical exams, and maintain current CPR certification. The bill mandates 12 annual continuing education hours (including infection control training) for license renewal and creates specific pathways for graduates of non-accredited programs. This directly affects dental therapists seeking licensure, dental practices employing them, and patients - particularly uninsured individuals defined as having income ≤200% of federal poverty guidelines.
