HB 2921 establishes licensing requirements for dental therapists in Oklahoma, who provide limited dental services (like cleanings and fillings) under dentist supervision. To become licensed, applicants must graduate from an accredited dental therapy program, pass national exams, maintain CPR certification, and complete 12 continuing education credit hours every two years (including infection control training). The bill defines key terms like "uninsured patient" (those without dental coverage earning ≤200% of federal poverty guidelines) and specifies supervision levels (direct, general, or indirect) for dentists overseeing therapists. This affects dental therapists seeking licensure, supervising dentists, and ensures dental care access for uninsured patients as defined in the bill.
