How Applicants are Licensed
Through the licensing process, the Board ensures that all
practicing dental professionals have an appropriate level of education and training
and that high professional standards are maintained. The Dental Practice Act
specifies the education and training an applicant must have to qualify for a
Maine license. Education and training is verified by Board staff. Applicants
are also required to have passed comprehensive written and clinical
examinations, as well as a Board-administered written jurisprudence
examination. A background check is conducted to ensure that applicants who hold
license(s) in another state(s) are of good professional reputation and
standing.
Dentists, dental hygienists and denturists must renew their licenses every two
years. Each licensee must demonstrate that they have obtained the necessary
continuing education credits and certify that they have maintained the accepted
standard of practice and conduct.Dental radiographers and expanded function
dental assistants (EFDA's) must renew their licenses every five years.
