The Michigan Board of Dentistry website provides a comprehensive and structured overview of regulatory and licensing information for dental professionals within the state. The page includes detailed licensing guides for dentists, dental therapists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants, covering standard, academic, limited, and specialty licensure pathways, as well as guidance on acceptable regional examinations, approved continuing education, examination resources, and the use of CE Broker for credit tracking. Users may also access the full set of licensing applications and certification forms, including those related to clinical practice experience, anesthesia and nitrous oxide administration, and specialized Registered Dental Assistant functions. In addition, the site outlines the Board’s governance activities, offering publicly available meeting schedules for multiple years, along with corresponding agendas and minutes to ensure transparency in regulatory decision‑making and rule development. These schedules provide dates of upcoming sessions where licensing matters, disciplinary actions, rules updates, and administrative issues are addressed, and are supplemented by materials from the Dentistry Rules Committee and other work groups. The page further links to MIOSHA guidance, applicable sections of the Public Health Code, and dental‑specific administrative rules. A fraud‑prevention notice is also included, advising visitors to verify official communications and avoid responding to unsolicited requests for personal information.
