California Dental Board

The California Dental Board protects and watches over the general population of California with regards to dental regulations and the enforcement of those regulations.

The California Dental Board creates and enforces standards of licensing. Examinations are given to persons having appropriate qualifications and who agree to the terms of responsibility. It is also the Board's responsibility to act on behalf of those of the California population if negligence is proven on the part of a California dentist. The California Dental Board also promotes education for the health and hygiene of all Californians, regardless of ethnicity or income.
