California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 2 — Healing ArtsChapter 4 — DentistryArticle 9 — Dental HygienistsSection 1912
Any procedure performed or service provided by a registered dental hygienist that does not specifically require direct supervision shall require general supervision, so long as it does not give rise to a situation in the dentist’s office requiring immediate services for alleviation of severe pain, or immediate diagnosis and treatment of unforeseeable dental conditions that, if not immediately diagnosed and treated, would lead to serious disability or death.
Notes
Requires general supervision for any registered-dental-hygienist procedure or service that does not specifically require direct supervision, but only when it does not create an office situation requiring immediate relief of severe pain or immediate diagnosis and treatment of an unforeseeable dental condition that would otherwise lead to serious disability or death.
