Modifies the practice of dentistry to include the prescription and administration of vaccines
SB 374 would allow dentists to prescribe and administer vaccines as part of their licensed practice. Currently, state law restricts dentists from prescribing vaccines, so this bill would expand their scope of practice to include this service. It directly affects dentists by granting them new authority and patients who might receive vaccines during routine dental visits. The key provision modifies the legal definition of "dental practice" to explicitly include vaccine prescription and administration, without specifying additional training requirements.
