According to the California State Dental Board

California business and professional code 1914 states a registered dental hygienist may use any material or device approved for use in the performance of a service or procedure within his or her scope of practice under the appropriate level of supervision, if he or she has the appropriate education and training required to use the material or device. However,    the code does not define training and its preferred length. It’s left to the discretion of the RDH and dentist alike to complete appropriate training to safely and effectively use this powerful tool on patients.

The Importance of Dental Laser Certification

While requirements vary from one state to the next, one thing remains true —    any RDH or DDS using a dental laser must be comprehensively trained. The lack of a national standard means individual hygienists and dentists must not only understand their state’s requirements, but seek the best training to safely serve their patients.

In addition to the expertise dental laser certification affords, it puts you in an elite category of practitioners. It’s safe to assume that dental laser certification will become a national requirement at some point, and seeking certification now puts you ahead of the curve.

Investing in Your Future

Completing a comprehensive and quality dental laser certification course, like those offered here at DDH, is an investment in your future. The dental laser is a powerful and versatile tool, but inexperience and a lack of education on proper use is dangerous.
