Establishes the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact to facilitate interstate practice.

The Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact enables qualified dentists and dental hygienists to practice in other participating states without redundant licensing requirements. It promotes workforce mobility and public access to dental services. States must meet specific criteria to join, including enacting a compact similar to the model compact and participating in a shared data system. The compact allows states to enforce their own disciplinary actions based on information from other states. It also facilitates the relocation of military members and their spouses by potentially waiving fees.
