Michigan HB4593 prohibits dentists from claiming to be dental specialists without proper licensing.

Michigan HB4593 amends the state's licensing laws for dentists. It prohibits dentists from representing themselves as specialists in certain areas unless they hold a health profession specialty field license. The bill specifies that dentists must obtain this license through advanced training and competency exams. Dentists without such a license cannot claim to specialize in areas like prosthodontics, endodontics, or oral medicine. The changes take effect on January 1, 2026, and are contingent on the enactment of House Bill No. 4594.
