SUMMARY:

Health; volunteer dentists and dental hygienists. Requires the sponsorship of a licensed dentist for a volunteer dentist to be able to qualify to receive a restricted license to practice in free clinics in the state and expands patient eligibility for treatment at such clinics. The bill provides that the supervising dentist no longer has to be on the premises during treatment by such volunteer dentist but must review the quality of care provided by him at least every 30 days. The bill also provides that all disciplinary regulations which apply to dentists also apply to volunteer dentists. The same basic provisions are applied to dental hygienists with the exception of the sponsorship clause.
