HB4913 amends the Illinois Dental Practice Act to redefine the scope of practice for dental hygienists. The bill allows dental hygienists to perform certain procedures in public health settings, such as federally qualified health centers and schools, without the immediate presence of a dentist. It also permits dental hygienists to administer local anesthetics if they complete a training program and work under a dentist's supervision. However, it prohibits dental hygienists from administering general anesthesia, deep sedation, moderate sedation, or nitrous oxide.
