The Arkansas State Board of Dental Examiners, established in 1887, is dedicated to safeguarding the interests of Arkansas citizens by licensing dentists and dental hygienists through examination or credentials. They also issue specialty licenses, permits for expanded duties, anesthesia permits, and local anesthesia permits, while defining the practice of dentistry and regulating the acts and services performed by dental hygienists and dental assistants.
Composed of practicing dentists, dental hygienists, and consumer representatives, the Board meets regularly to conduct disciplinary hearings and ensure compliance with the Dental Practice Act. With over 5,000 individuals currently holding licenses or permits issued by the Board, they are self-supporting through application fees, renewal fees, fines, and penalties.
