Why it matters for dental
State dental boards and licensing exams shape the workforce pipeline; owners and DSOs that rely on new graduates or multi-state credentialing should track any policy changes discussed at this summit.
Key points
- Event runs five days in October 2026 at National Harbor, MD; registration is already open.
- Primary audience: dental regulators, board members, educators, and clinical examiners who set licensure standards.
- Agenda focus is the future of dental licensure, which directly affects scope-of-practice rules and CE requirements that every practicing dentist must follow.
- No new rule changes announced yet; the value is early visibility into potential shifts in testing content or state-to-state portability.
