What action is required to initiate the recall of a dentist member from the Board?

To initiate the recall of a dentist member from the Board, a written recall petition is the necessary action. This requirement ensures that there is a formal and documented process through which concerns or dissatisfaction regarding a board member can be expressed by the constituents or dental professionals in the area. A written petition also provides a clear record of support or opposition, thereby enabling the Board to assess and validate the claims effectively.

This structured procedure helps maintain accountability among Board members and ensures that any action taken is backed by adequate support from the community. The requirement for a written petition also serves to prevent frivolous or impulsive attempts to recall a Board member, ensuring that the process is both serious and considered.
