( 43-11-42)
(a) The board may issue, in its discretion, without examination,
teachers' or instructors' licenses to dentists holding a dental
license from another state and to dental hygienists holding a dental
hygienist license from another state. A teacher's or instructor's
license shall only be issued to a dentist or dental hygienist who
has graduated from a school or college accredited by the Commission
on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association or its
successor agency, if any, for the sole purpose of teaching or
instructing, in an accredited dental college or training clinic or
accredited dental hygiene school in this state, those procedures and
services recognized in this state to be within the scope of practice
of such person's professional license. (b) The board may issue, in its discretion, without examination, a
license to dentists for the sole purpose of practicing public health
dentistry in an official state or a local health department or to
render dental services to patients in state operated eleemosynary or
correctional institutions, provided that these dentists possess a
license in another state, are in good standing in said state, and
have graduated from an accredited dental college. Such license
shall be considered to be a temporary license which shall be valid
for a period to be established by board rule. (c) The cost of such teacher's, instructor's, or public health
temporary license shall be established by the board. (d) The board may also, in its discretion, enter into an agreement
with any similar board of any other state to the effect that each
party to such agreement, under the conditions therein stipulated,
will grant licenses to practicing dentists on the basis of a license
having been granted by the other party to the agreement. (e) Any license issued under this Code section shall be subject to the disciplinary standards and procedures set forth in Code Section 43-11-47. |
