Maine considers new associate dentist license to improve access, sparking safety concerns.
Maine lawmakers are weighing a bill to create a new associate dentist license for those with less formal education, allowing supervised practice and eventual full licensure after six years.
The proposal, backed by health care providers, aims to expand dental access in underserved areas and reduce emergency room visits for treatable issues.
Opponents, including the Maine Dental Association and many dentists, warn it could create a two-tiered system and compromise patient safety.
They support an alternative bill studying residency programs and a hub-and-spoke model to improve specialist access instead.
