The Arkansas State Board of Dental Examiners, established in 1887, is dedicated to safeguarding the interests of Arkansas citizens by licensing dentists and dental hygienists through examination or credentials. The Board also issues specialty licenses, permits for expanded duties, anesthesia permits, and local anesthesia permits, while defining the practice of dentistry and regulating the acts and services performed by dental hygienists and dental assistants. Comprised of practicing dentists, dental hygienists, and consumer representatives, the Board meets regularly to conduct disciplinary hearings and ensure compliance with the Dental Practice Act and its Rules and Regulations. With over 5,000 individuals currently holding licenses or permits issued by the Board, it operates as a self-supporting entity, funded by application fees, renewal fees, permit fees, disciplinary fines, and penalties. The Board's mission is to maintain the highest standards of dental care in Arkansas, protecting the public's well-being and promoting the integrity of the dental profession.Generated from the website
