I strongly object to the possibility of a "jurisprudence exam" to be "administered" every so often, by whom and at what cost??? I strongly suspect any cost will be borne by us, the practicing dentists,and dental hygienists who already are having reimbursements drastically reduced by insurance companies, fees increasing to be a member of the ADA, VDA, RDS, (and I could go on!). Obviously this increased "overreach" would increase our License fees to the Board, how else would it be paid or administered? Let's suggest that the Board become more communicative with us, the practicing dentists and hygienists rather than the Board being in a somewhat "adversarial" ruling body.. Presently, I would have to STOP my practice in order to read (and understand) ALL of the continually generated "regulations" to practice dentistry in VA.
