The Dental Board of California is a regulatory body responsible for licensing and overseeing approximately 104,000 dental professionals in Sacramento, CA. They ensure that dentists, registered dental assistants, and registered dental assistants in extended functions are qualified to practice, while also setting the duties and functions of unlicensed dental assistants. The Board also issues permits for dental anesthesia, sedation, orthodontic assistants, and dental sedation assistants, and approves educational programs and courses for dental professionals.
With a primary focus on protecting the public, the Dental Board of California investigates complaints against licensees and enforces the Dental Practice Act. They work diligently to address the needs and concerns of dentists and dental auxiliaries, while also staying updated on regulatory changes such as the upcoming requirement for dispensers of controlled substances to report dispensations using the American Society for Automation in Pharmacy (ASAP) format version 4.2B starting from August 1, 2024.
