What is the time frame for reinstatement of a license after expiration, provided it has not been canceled?

The time frame for reinstatement of a dental hygiene license after its expiration, provided it has not been canceled, is typically one year. This is consistent with the regulations governing dental hygiene practice in Oklahoma. If a license is not renewed within this one-year period, the license may face additional requirements or complications when attempting to reinstate it.

Understanding this timeline is crucial for dental hygienists to ensure they remain in good standing and can continue practicing without interruptions. After a year, it often becomes more challenging to reinstate a license, potentially involving more stringent evaluations or retesting, depending on the circumstances surrounding the renewal.
