Here are four things from the ADA dentists need to know about the new law:
1. The training requirement only applies to dentists who need a DEA registration to prescribe controlled substances from schedules 2, 3, 4 and 5.
2. Dentists only need to complete the eight hours of training once.
3. For those who are less than five years out of dental school, relevant coursework will count toward the eight hours.
4. The deadline for completing the training is based on when the dentist first obtains or renews their registration.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
