Dental Therapy

Creates licensed dental therapists to expand access to care. They can do fillings, simple extractions, and preventive services under a Florida dentist's general supervision, using a written agreement. Medicaid may pay for services in approved mobile clinics. Sets licensing exams, continuing education, safety rules and incident reporting. Dentists stay responsible for patient care. Bars unlicensed practice and non-dentist control. State must track results, costs, and access.
