OVERVIEW
Effective January, 2005, the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners now requires successful completion of a three (3) hour Continuing Dental Education course in Jurisprudence every three years as a prerequisite to the annual renewal of a dental or dental hygiene license. This course will fulfill the new State Board of Dental Examiners’ Continuing Education requirement in Jurisprudence for both Dentists and Dental Hygienists. Recent changes in Board rules and regulations will be discussed which will also better prepare the practicing dental provider from becoming the subject of a Dental Board investigation.

OBJECTIVES
The course will fulfill the Dental Board’s newly enacted requirement for Dentists and Dental Hygienists for a three hour Continuing Dental Education course in Jurisprudence as a prerequisite to annual renewal of their license.

The course will address the rules and regulations of the State Board of Dental Examiners as well as excerpts from the Occupations Code and related statutes.
