What must Registered Dental Assistants do regarding their address?

Registered Dental Assistants are required to maintain a current address with the Board to ensure that they can be reached for correspondence, renewals, and any legal matters related to their professional practice. This obligation is vital because the Board uses this information for official communications regarding licensure status, continuing education requirements, and any disciplinary actions. If an assistant fails to keep their address updated, they may miss important information that could impact their ability to practice legally or could result in penalties.

The requirement to keep the Board informed of one’s address is a standard practice in many regulated professions, as it maintains transparency and accountability within the practice. This practice also helps to uphold the integrity of the profession, ensuring that all practitioners meet the necessary standards and remain compliant with regulatory expectations.
