What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
