What is required for the reinstatement of a license or permit after suspension?

The reinstatement of a license or permit after suspension typically requires approval by the Board. This step is critical as it ensures that the governing body, which oversees the ethical and professional standards of dental hygiene practice, reviews the circumstances surrounding the suspension and assesses whether the practitioner is fit to resume practice. The Board may require documentation or evidence that the individual has addressed the issues that led to the suspension and is compliant with the standards required for safe and effective practice.

In many cases, the approval can involve a hearing or an application process where the individual presents their case. This emphasis on Board approval helps maintain public trust in the profession and ensures that all practitioners meet the necessary qualifications and conduct standards before being allowed to re-enter the workforce.

Other possible requirements, such as completion of additional coursework or payment of fees, might contribute to the overall process, but they do not substitute for the essential need for Board approval.
