Abstract
The Virginia Board of Dentistry meeting on March 3, 2023, covered various topics including workforce data, legislative updates, and regulatory actions. Key points included a slight drop in valid dental licenses, an increase in diversity and median income for both dentists and dental hygienists, and ongoing student debt issues. The board discussed but did not take action on oral appliance therapy standards for sleep apnea. Legislative updates included the formation of a work group to analyze licensure requirements and the approval of a bill allowing dentists to administer botulinum toxin injections for cosmetic purposes with proper training. The meeting also highlighted the Virginia State Loan Repayment Program and recent disciplinary actions.
