AADB and DANB Introduce Online State Dental Practice Act Resource
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 18, 2014 -- The Dental Assisting National Board, Inc. (DANB) and the American Association of Dental Boards (AADB) collaborated to introduce a new resource for AADB members and state regulators.
The new state dental practice act database makes it easy to locate each state’s dental practice act and dental board administrative rules and regulations. The database can be found on DANB’s website and on AADB’s website.
“Currently, dental practice acts, rules and regulations can be difficult to find, with states differing in the location and accessibility of documents,” explains DANB Executive Director Cindy Durley, M.Ed., MBA. “This is the first resource of its kind, bringing together links to all these materials in one convenient place.”
“Our members often reference other state’s practice acts, rules and regulations in the course of their work,” notes AADB Executive Director James Tarrant. “We are excited for this collaboration to bring a new and valuable resource to our membership.”
“Both DANB and AADB embrace the spirit of collaboration with others in the oral healthcare community,” Durley adds. “Working together on this initiative underscores our shared goal of public protection.”
To access the database or to learn more, visit DANB's website or AADB's website.
