Can practice locations be changed without informing the Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners?

In Nevada, dentists are required to notify the Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners whenever there is a change in their practice location. This regulation ensures that the Board maintains accurate records of all dental practices within the state, which is important for patient safety, law enforcement, and oversight. If a dentist were to change their location without notifying the Board, it could lead to issues such as difficulty in patient referrals, complications in emergency situations, and challenges in addressing complaints or investigations regarding that practice. By mandating notification, the Board can ensure that all dental practitioners operate transparently and within the legal framework established for the practice of dentistry in Nevada.
