A multistate agreement for dental professionals, allowing dentists and dental hygienists to practice in more than one jurisdiction, cannot be true until seven states sign it.
New Jersey may be just one of them.
Currently, four states participate in the Compact for Dentists and Dental Hygienists. Several states have joined it, including New Jersey, where an Assembly committee recently passed a law involving the state.
“This is nothing new for us in New Jersey,” said Rep. Herb Conaway Jr. , D-Burlington, one of the measure’s most sensible sponsors. “We have an interstate medical licensing agreement, a physical treatment licensing agreement, a nurse licensing agreement, an interjurisdictional psychology agreement. “
If the Compact were to be launched, dentists and hygienists in one compact state would be able to practice in any other compact state without having to download a new license.
Some are concerned that this move will bring inferior professionals to the Garden State, but additional approval is required for a professional to adhere to the agreement.
According to a website committed to the pact, a task funded through the U. S. Department of Defense is a major factor in the deal. In the U. S. , an applicant for the multi-state agreement would have to pass an FBI background check, pay a fee, and have:
⚫ An active, no-charge license in a compact state
⚫ Successful completion of the National Council examination or examination accepted through the compact committee
⚫ I took an assessment
⚫ Graduated from a program accredited through the Board of Dental Accreditation.
“Even if it’s authorized in a compromised state, that doesn’t mean committing to the compact itself,” said Paul Bent, a lobbyist for the New Jersey Association of Dental Hygienists.
According to the New Jersey Dental Association, New Jersey has been struggling with a sufficient number of dentists lately; The biggest fear is the number of hygienists.
Earlier this year, Iowa, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin passed a law adopting the compact.
The law was approved by the New Jersey Assembly’s physical fitness committee on Feb. 22. No resolution has yet been taken on an edition of the bill in the Senate.
