Abstract
The Virginia Board of Dentistry meeting on March 8, 2024, covered various topics, including the approval of previous meeting minutes and a report from DHP Director Arne W. Owens on legislative activities and staffing changes. Dr. Bryant shared insights from recent dental conferences, while Yetty Shobo, Ph.D., presented workforce data showing trends in the demographics, income, and debt of dentists and dental hygienists. The report highlighted an increase in younger dentists and a decline in dental hygienists since 2022. Regulatory updates and disciplinary actions were also discussed, with 135 new cases received and 154 cases closed, including 11 with violations.
