PA State Board of Dentistry

PDA actively follows the progression of dental laws and regulations proposed and finalized by the State Board of Dentistry (SBOD). Whether SBOD is discussing regulations for continuing education (CE) requirements or the scope of practice for expanded function dental assistants and dental hygienists, PDA develops positions on behalf of dentistry on regulatory issues that are then conveyed to SBOD before regulations are finalized.

PDA keeps members up to date on proposed regulations via the Pennsylvania Dental Journal, PDA’s official publication. Additionally, PDA staff and member dentists attend every SBOD meeting, and members often offer testimony regarding issues before the board. By attending these meetings, PDA staff and members ensure that the views and opinions of Pennsylvania dentist are heard on issues affecting dental practice, such as the interpretation of state laws and CE requirements.

All public sessions will begin at 11:00am unless otherwise noted.
