What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Dentistry Examining Board (board) licenses dental hygienists in Wisconsin. Also under current law, the board certifies qualified dental hygienists to administer a local anesthesia.
This bill requires the board to grant a certificate to administer nitrous oxide inhalation analgesia to a dental hygienist who is licensed by the board and who satisfies certain educational requirements that the bill directs the board to establish by rule. Under the bill, the certificate, once issued, remains in effect while the dental hygienist holds a valid license to practice dental hygiene in Wisconsin, unless the board suspends or revokes the certificate.
