Join us for this episode of The Business RoundUp where we speak with Dr Rudy Ramos, a D.D.S., owner at Rudy Ramos D.D.S. & Associates in Houston. Dr. Ramos, a former Texas State Board of Dental Examiners official, discusses how a new piece of legislation could impact public dental health including:

 

How dental licensing works:

• How the proposed HB1803 will impact dental care for Texans.
• The current requirement for all dentists and dental hygienists to pass a written exam to receive a license.

Why it matters:

• Licensing is an important check and balance to ensure all dental pros are qualified and competent.
• Texas law has required dentists and dental hygienists to pass a clinical hand skills exam to demonstrate their ability to perform basic dental procedures competently
• The Governor appoints the State Board members to make important decisions about public dental health and safety.
