CONSUMER ALERT: Beware of unlicensed individuals offering dental services
Please be aware of unlicensed individuals offering dental services, including but not limited to braces, veneers, and crowns, online through social media platforms. The Board of Dentistry licenses dentists and dental hygienists. Dental assistants are not licensed and per O.C.G.A. §43-11-81 are not permitted to provide any services outside of the direct supervision of a dentist. Supervised dental assistants are limited to the services outlined by Rule Chapter 150-9. Always ensure your practitioner is appropriately licensed to provide dental services in Georgia. You can verify the practitioner's license from the Board's website (Click Here).
