MDHA is very excited about our bill this year entitled “Health Occupations-Dental Hygienists-Practicing in Long Term Care Facilities” SBHB 1302
Sponsor: Senator Middleton Sponsor: Delegates Kipke, Kullen, Kach, and Montgomery
Senate Bill 719 will be heard on March 10, 2010 by the Education, Health and Environment Affairs Committee chaired by Senator Joan Carter Conway; vice chaired by Senator Roy Dyson.
House Bill 1302 will be heard on March 12, 2010 by the Health and Government Operations Committee chaired by Delegate Peter Hammen; vice chaired by Delegate Shane Pendergrass.
This bill will authorize a dental hygienist to practice dental hygiene under the general supervision of a dentist in long-term care facilities under the specified circumstances, requiring a written agreement and consultation with supervising dentist or treating physician under specified circumstances, requiring dental hygienist to assess the appropriate recall interval for a patient in a specified manner.
This bill is for the clinical hygienist who has treated a patient for many years and now that patient is no longer able to come to the office. The dentist the hygienist is employed by would provide a written prescription that would allow the hygienist to treat this patent in the long-term care facilities.
We ask that you please contact your legislators and the chairs of the above committees and ask that they support this bill. It would also be advantageous if you can get your dentist to also contact these legislators and let them know that they also support this bill. I have attached our talking points to this email To find your legislators go to mlis.state.md.us (Maryland General Assembly Home Page, you can also track the bill there).
Please take a moment and be pro active in moving your profession forward
