What's the difference between a certificate and a license? I was told by a Sacramento Sheriff officer, "I don't need the education to do the job you do." I hold a license as a Registered Dental Hygienist and recently graduated when he told me this. Can police officers do the work of. Registered Dental Hygienist with out the pre reqs, with out dental hygiene school or passing their boards? Was this a threat to take my identity? Thank you.

Most dentists are bad. I keep changing dentists more often than I change diapers. The board lets incompetent dentists take care of patients. They told me that a dentist failing to correctly place a crown is just SIMPLE NEGLIGENCE case closed. The board needs to be like the IRS when we don't pay our taxes, they are all over us. Board: Do your job and get rid of incompetent dentists. I want to give you 5 stars but you are not making it easy for me!!

Can take several months for them to look at the complaint, while the dentist continue to rip medical patients off. What a waste of time. It has been 2 months since I submitted my complaint.

Does anyone know how to sue the Dental Board for failure to discipline dentists employing unlicensed assistants while advertising them as licensed and for gross negligence? Since it's a Government agency is there a different procedure?

How to transfer a dental license from Washington to California ??

Dena Ly | Sep 17, 2019
Joseph Crawford | Sep 17, 2019

Your license doesn't transfer from state to state. You are actually requesting a license certification for that state to recognize that you held a California dental license with the required certifications. You will find the license cert at the Dental Board site: dbc.ca.gov Click the tab at top of site: Forms and Publications Scroll down to the main folder: Forms. Find the option that reads Dental Assistant License Certification. FYI: The state your transferring to may request a x ray certification also. I hope this helps!!!!!

An unlicensed man never had a licence to practice dentistry owned a dental lab but portrayed to the public via media saying they offered cheap, emergency services, dental clinic, oral surgeon. why cant the board help? cuz he never had a licence?

Good evening Jenna, The needs a specific location where this person is operating, not to mention a complaint to act on. Unfortunately, the board receives an overwhelming number of complaints daily. They can only follow up on those violations that they receive complaints on, call it "low on manpower". I hope this helps at least a little. If you choose to file a complaint with helpful information to investigating this person, I'm sure they'll act accordingly. Good luck

How does an RDH/RDA transfer to California if they're licensed in another state? (Texas)

Not sure about RDH, but RDA does not transfer.

Did Californianused to require an associates degree to be a dental assistant? A dr I work with says that's how it was about 20-25 years ago. Can't find anything to say yes or no.

Carla Whitney | Sep 17, 2018
Dianne Cordeiro | Sep 17, 2018

That is not how it was. Many people had degrees but you could have went to just a regular accredited school and then taken your state boards. And actually you really didn't have to go to school if you had two years of experience on the job.
