My name is Dr. VaCora Rainey and I am a general dentist from Stafford. I am in agreement with the Board on the issue of requiring an exam for initial licensures. However, I feel that an "open book" exam every 3 years is unnecssary for renewals. While I appreciate your proactive approach to reduce complaints and eliminate violations, this will be a time and financial burden for practitioners. I recommend you send a document to all licensed dentists every year with the information you feel would be helpful to us. We can all benefit from your guidance on how to prevent common violations.

Thank you for your time
