Jurisprudence re exam every 3 years?
 

The BOD means well, but again is misguided;  I am not opposed to the review of the ever-changing Board of Dentisry interpretations of the "Code",  but a re =exam every 3 years is overkill;   I would suggest the time be reduced to every 6 or 8 years.    The BOD is tired of having comlaints directly related to dentists who  incorrectly interpret the ever -changing  "CODE";  perhaps the BOD should accept some of the responisblity for what is happening by stepping up their efforts to educate the dentists  of VA  about how the BOD interpretes the "Code" more often...by pointing out where  dentists are overstepping the legal line.
