The California Dental Practice Act is the
chapter of the California Business & Professions Code that
contains the basic body of laws governing Dentistry [Business
& Professions Code (B&P) 1600]. California law requires that
every dental professional must have a grasp of that basic
body of the law, together with the related portions of the
California Code of Regulations (CCR) and selected other California
statutes. This course has been designed to summarize the Dental
Practice Act and related laws through 2006. However, lawmakers
change and add to these laws regularly. Licentiates should
refer to the actual text of the law or consult a qualified
attorney in serious matters.
The Dental Board of California publishes
a compilation of the Dental Practice Act and related laws,
which can be purchased from the Board. The address for ordering
a copy of the Act follows the glossary.
