Hard Copy License Certificates Discontinued

The division has expanded our online services to allow licensees to download their own license certificates on demand. As a result, the division no longer mails hardcopy license certificates. The certificates will be located under the “initial application” and “renewal” events in the MY LICENSE account.

If you need guidance on how to set up or access your MY LICENSE account, you can access the MY LICENSE instructions here.

Warning About Botox Injections and Fillers

The public should be aware that injection of Botox by dental hygienists is not within their scope of practice and is therefore contrary to state law. The scope of practice for dental hygienists is set out in a closed list at AS 08.32.110(a)(1) and (2), which does not include Botox and fillers, which are prohibited by AS 08.32.110(c). Per AS 08.32.110, the administration of Botox and/or fillers may not be delegated by a dentist to a dental hygienist. Dental licensees and members of the public should contact staff at boardofdentalexaminers@alaska.gov with any questions.

Dental Radiological Equipment

Effective July 1, 2023, the oversight of Dental Radiological Equipment will shift from the Alaska Board of Dental Examiners to the Alaska Department of Health (DOH). Information will be added to DOH’s Radiological Health webpage as soon as possible. In the meantime, the DOH Dental X-Ray Registration form is available here and should be submitted to doh.radiation.control@alaska.gov”.

Mannequin-Based Clinical Exams Now Accepted for Licensure

The Board of Dental Examiners has adopted regulations to accept both mannequin- and patient-based exams for dentist and dental hygienist licensure. Applicants who have passed a mannequin-based exam and meet the other requirements for licensure in Alaska are encouraged to submit initial application to the division for processing.
