Hi, everyone.
Does anyone know if dental hygienists can work in California without the presence and/or direct supervision of a dentist ?
I am not referring to the newer, more advanced degree RDHAP (Registered Dental Hygienist in Alternative Practice) but to the usual registered dental hygienist.
It is my understanding that in order to perform regular hygiene duties at a dental office a dental hygienist needs to have a dentist present at the office at all times. Is this right ?
Thank you in advance.
