What percentage of dentists in a district is required to recall a dentist member from the Board?

To recall a dentist member from the Board in a district, a minimum of 20% of the dentists in that district is required to participate in the recall process. This percentage ensures that a substantial and representative portion of the dental community has agreed on the decision to recall, reflecting a level of dissatisfaction or concern that warrants action.

The rationale behind setting this threshold at 20% helps maintain stability and prevents frivolous or unjust removals, while still allowing for the accountability of Board members. By requiring a significant minority, the process encourages careful consideration of the decision among the dentists, ultimately supporting the integrity of the Board and the profession as a whole.
