Official Compact Name
Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact
The compact has been created, required number of states have enacted the compact and is working on necessary mechanisms to become operational.
The Council of State Governments (CSG) is partnering with the Department of Defense (DoD), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) to support the mobility of licensed dentists and dental hygienists through the development of a new interstate compact. This compact will create reciprocity among participant states, and reduce the barriers to license portability.
