H.4007 REGULATION OF DENTAL HYGIENISTS Rep. Bingham
This bill specifies functions and procedures which must not be delegated to dental hygienists, and for purposes of supervision and control of certain dental procedures, revises the current definition of "general supervision" and adds a definition for "authorized." The bill also delineates functions which, in a private dental office setting, may be performed by a dental hygienist only under general supervision, and the bill provides criteria which must be met before a private-office dentist authorizes general supervision. The bill also revises provisions pertaining to dental hygienists providing services in a public health setting.
