California Dental Practice Act 2026

The California Dental Practice Act 

The California Society of Pediatric Dentistry (CSPD) is pleased to present a webinar focused on the California Dental Practice Act.

The California Dental Practice Act is the chapter of the California Business & Professions Code that contains the basic body of laws governing Dentistry (Business & Professions Code (B&P) 1600). California law requires that every dental professional must have a grasp of the basic body of the law, together with the related portions of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) and selected other California statutes. This course has been designed to summarize the Dental Practice Act and related laws through the current year.

Upon completion of this course, the attendees should be able to:

•  Summarize the California Dental Practice Act.

• Describe the legal role and responsibilities of the dentist and dental auxiliaries.

• Distinguish between direct and indirect supervision and define which auxiliary responsibilities are in each category.
