relative to the practice of dentistry and when radiographic examinations are required.

Replaced 'x-ray' with 'radiographic examination' throughout the bill, expanding coverage to include all types of dental imaging (e.g., panoramic X-rays, CBCT scans), not just standard x-rays.

Removed the phrase 'unless doing so would violate the dental standard of care,' which previously prevented dentists from treating a patient who declined imaging if treatment without it would fall below the accepted standard of care. This removes a safety guardrail.

Changed 'the dentist may require the patient to sign a waiver of liability' to 'the dentist shall require the patient to sign a waiver of liability,' making the waiver mandatory rather than optional whenever a patient declines a radiographic examination.
