House Bill 602 PASSES
On April 29, 2010 Governor Ed Rendell signed HB602 into law. PA Act No. 19
This will allow Expanded Function Dental Assistants to perform coronal polishing, give fluoride treatments and take impressions for athletic appliances. It also creates a seat on the PA State Board of Dentistry for an EFDA and another dentist . The Pennsylvania Dental Assistants Association sends a representative to all State Board of Dentistry meetings. Updated information will be posted on the PDAA website www.padentalassistants.org as it becomes available. Thank you to all the assistants who wrote their Senators asking for the support of this bill.
