| Long Title |
This Bill provides for effective registration of persons practising dentistry and for dental prosthetics. It controls the use of the titles dentist, dental prosthetist, dental therapist, school dental therapist and dental hygienist and seeks to prevent conduct from non-dental professionals that may be misleading to consumers and the general public. Importantly the Bill adequately identifies members of the dental profession, enabling the consumers of dental service to make informed decisions when engaging a practitioner. |
