California AB1760 amends dentistry licensing requirements, including elective facial cosmetic surgery permits and registered dental assistant in.

California AB1760 amends the Business and Professions Code to revise dentistry licensing requirements. It allows the Dental Board of California to grant licenses to dentists without requiring an examination if certain conditions are met, such as holding an active license from another jurisdiction. The bill also establishes a credentialing committee to review applications for elective facial cosmetic surgery permits, which require proof of residency training and clinical practice. Registered dental assistants in extended functions can now perform additional procedures under direct supervision.
