Massachusetts Board of Dentistry
Massachusetts Board of Dentistry
The practice of dentistry generally includes diagnosing, treating, operating or prescribing for any disease, pain, injury, deficiency, deformity or other condition of human teeth, gums or jaws. A dental hygienist may assist a licensed dentist, as well as perform services on teeth that are educational, therapeutic, prophylactic and preventive in nature.
The Board of Registration in Dentistry registers and licenses formally trained dentists and dental hygienists who have passed the appropriate licensing exam. The exams are administered by board members through the North East Regional Board (NERB), a consortium of 17 state boards of registration in dentistry. The Board monitors licensees' practice of dentistry to insure that the services provided to the public are in accordance with the Massachusetts General Laws and the ethical standards included in the Board's regulations. The Board also insures that licensees have complied with all continuing education requirements necessary to renew their licenses.
