Course Description
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. We have designed this course 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.
