The Board of Dental
Examiners is staffed by the Division of Corporations, Business, and Professional Licensing. The board consists of six dentists, two dental
hygienists, and one public member. Board members are
appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Legislature.
The board
adopts regulations to carry out laws governing the
practice of dentistry and dental hygiene in Alaska.
It makes
final licensing decisions and takes disciplinary actions
against people who violate licensing laws. The board
meets four times a year and offers a public comment
period at each meeting. Meeting agendas and minutes
are available from the licensing examiner and will
be posted to this website once prepared.
