PUBLISHED TO PROMOTE VOLUNTAR Y COMPLIANCE WITH THE DENTAL PRACTICE ACT MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT As lhis wi!! be my la~l OPIX Itunit) l
yuu a~ the pre~ident f the Louisiana
Stale Board of Dentistry. I wish to tak [hili
opportnniry to c pre 's my . ill ere grm iruue to
addre.~s
all or the board members and slaff With whom I
have b«-n . 0 d sd y as 'ocilttet1 with sinc 1992.
I will be leavlllg lIle board a/ ~r nex t year when I
om ternl Ilinited off. This has truly been u
meml1rable pan of m life whi h I can never
r rget. Occasionall y) believe J have seen It all ,
and men I rea.lil.e n thi ng ~i.ln be fu rt her from
the trulh . The landsi:;ape of the dental
community ha;; changed s much m th past
fourteen yean; thm I can ' I begi n to gues whtu it
will look like in anothe r fourteen year.; .
I never dreamed lh at generul supe ision
woulu hccome II reali ty in Louisuma.. but here it
is . Thro ugh the effort of the LOUiSiana Denta l
As ociati(ln Ilnd th Louisinna Dental Hygiene
A. SOCIUtlon, il has linall come to pas .
Nevcnhele ' So I am concemed lhat this may be
abused by ~O Il1C people an pray that it never
decrcas~ the quality 0 care we provide to th
puhlie . Hl pefu]ly Ih ru les which are in cITe t
wiil pn:vent any harm .
Wh~n I first carne n the board , only a
handfu l of people had even heard of a dental
clinicn.! regional testi ng ogency . They now
CCOUnL fbr m!)!>t of the clinical licensing. in the
country . All bUI a f 'II' . tates n w belong to
regional testing agem;ies. Much la l~ ha..\ been
ge.nerateu ver the pa\t f< w years reganJing a
nauo nal cl inical li cens ing examinatIOn. We
support [hi, endeavor bUI are aware nf many
problems which have rept up since the concept
really begtUl t take ~h.:lpe in Orllllldo twO yea
;Igo at the American A$ ' 'illlion 0 Dental
Examin 'r!> meetings . It ha; ' often been said thut
··you Cilll get a I I uone if you don' t care who
g~ credit ror it." ll1erc seem to be severn I
people on the national level who want to gel
cred it lor creating a nationol d im aI exam.
T herei n lies the problem .
The Loui~ian .l Stille Board o f Oem i. try i
c ntracling with the Counci l of Independellt
Testing Agencies (C1TA} to admi nister the
clinical licenSing examinat i.ln in Louisiana
be"inning JIl c. lendnr year 20(}!) . We de layed
Llle ommen 'ment of lhe admi nist ra tion r Ult~
exam until th..'11 due t the logi. lieal problems
caused in our sUIte by HurricllI1es Katrina and
Rita . This will give our 'iCniur JentaJ and
hygiene srtJdents titne tOlidapl before the
~' h angeove r begins. A portion (lfthe clinical
examination i the CU n1wlu ll1 Integrated ('orma!
(OF). where dental student:· will begin taking
[he c.'<lImimUi n in thei.rjunior year (2007) Thi~
will give them ample opport un ity to retake that
portion of the e)"runinall 11 if they arc not
successful initially be ore sin ing for the fInal
clinjcal exammUlion in their senior year. This
new trend seem~ lo be universall y acceptet1 b
all parties involved . J have I][) doubt Ihal mo~t of
the ~tudents will be cxtrcml:i) \\cll prepared for
that exam .
III latiOll to the logi~tic~ 1 problems cau, cd
by the hurricanes . I mw,l commend Dr. ric
Hovlllnd for the amazlllg joh he duJ 111 geltll1!!
the dental s hool up and nmm ng '0 quickly In
Baton Rouge . It wa., wly a herculean venture
on his part. Dr. Hovland si mply put hi. head
down ~md kcpll!lk.i.ng lhe pun h Ii wh iI<! he
fought through ail of the problems created by the
floodi ng of the dental school in New Orleans.
Had Dr. HovlanJ , hi. ad mi ni~tratinn , and staff
not resIXmded so quIckly and competently . who
know ' where oun.lenlal and hygiene ~.ucJcnt
w uld be being educated lomorrow" I tip my
hat to aU of them
I wo uld alsll likc to rept)rt th;lllhere is a new
li censllre ~{alus ill Louisiana. Retired dentists
wh \\ish to o lu nreer their scr i ec~ on a pro
no basis to . en'e the rndigenl may now obtain
a lI cen~ fo r that pwposc. Many of ur fe llow
dentists who have reI'
woultl like very much
to give back tO lheir commumties and thIS is an
e cerIen! way )f doing s . In times such as
the: , we all need to stick (og ther and work
with each other to pmvide the best denw l CWl:
we (;an to all f ow' citizen!; many of wltich are
unable to provide for the mselves
In .losing, I wou ld like to expre..~s my
gratitude to the Lou isiana Dental Association
and th~ Louisiuna IA!nlal Ilygiene Associaticm
as well a.<. the faculty and Ullmini!>trJtion of the
denm! scrroo!. It takes e~lch and everyone of
these enlltics working togethe r to mi. e the level
r denti. try within our stale. There is a great
deal or harmony bcltween thc stale board and
each of these groups al this point. J hope thllt we
can always mainUlin thnt. Each and every one
f us should be thankfu.l to be part of II t,oreaL
pro s~ ion . May God continue to ble:.s u .

EE ECUTIV D
I gather you can tell by reading the
BulleLin Lhi year thaL di ciplinary
a tions fell off dramati ally during the
paH year. In fact. we had only ODe
adverti ing violation and ten
disciplinary actions. Thio; can be
cfue tly aLtributed Lo the catastrophe
endured by our state with Hurri anes
Katrina and Rita. Not only did our
eli ciplinary a tions go down, bUllhe
complaints received in the office fell
by appr imaLely [w thirds. Thi in
tum cau ed a silver lining in the
cloud. Our expenses were reduced by
ver $[00,000 during this 11 cal year
over the p. Lfiscal year. However,
ur re erve have been decreasing
over the years, and the board will be
asking for a renewal fee increase next
year. We are sure that you can
understand that the board is in need of
a fee increase as there have been no
increa es for the last five year' and
everyone's costs continue to rise .
A you can see from this bulletin,
the board ie charging fee for the
renewal f anesthe ia permit thi
year. The board has waived the. e fees
for over fifteen years, but i now in
circumstan e. wherein the fees
mu. t be appJ ied in order to bridge the
gap until a fee i.ncrease occur ' which
could not happen before next year.
The board is boping to be able Lo
commence online renewals of licen. es
in the next year or two . We know
many four licen 'ees would prefer
this method of renew' 1 as it would
speed up the pr ces, and decreillie the
burden on y u and our staff.
However, that al 0 will cost money.
Complaints are starting to come
back at a more nonnal rate as our
citizen move back. Hen e, our
expenses will again rise
dramatically. I beUeve the singular
most c mm n cause for complaints
to be eot to the board i lack of
communication between the dentist
and Lhe patient. I cannot expre s
tills enougb, If your patient knows
what he i gening be re Lrealment
begins , the re should be little room
for complaining afterward .
Please remember (hat la, Lyear
all who renewed their license · did
not have to provide the board with
any continuing education
certification. The reason wa
obvious. Tbe hurricanes bad
cancelled lhe NODA conference for
the previou two years and it was
impo . ible for many of our
licensees to obtain continuing
education. Nevertheless, all tho e
licen ees renewing their licenses
this year must have one h.lf of the
required continuing edu aLion
requirements. atisfied. In other
words, denti ts must have
satisfactory pr of r mpleti ng
twenty hour of continuing
education this year, one half of
which mu ' l be cunical . Hygieni ts
must have twelve bours of
continuing education credit thu
year, ne half of whicb must be
clinical.
A. Dr. Donald related in hi
"Me ' sage From The Pre ident:' the
Louisiana Slate Board of Dentistry
i now C ntracLing with tbe Council
of Interstate e ling Agencies to
begin administering our clinical
licen fig examinalion. Thi i' a
R:
collaborative effort wiLh other
states who are memb rs of CTTA as
well. Those, tates are Alabama,
Mis 'u;sippi, North Carolina, and
several other staLes are III
di ussion t.age· with CITA. In
order for aU of tbe clinical
examination to be tandardized,
each state wap examiner wjth
other states to conduct the clinical
examinations. It is not nece. sary
for one to be a memb r of a dental
board in rder to participate wiLh
CITA a an examiner. If you are
intere ted in participating as an
examiner in clinical licensing
examinatjon', you can call the
board office or contact CITA
dire tJy at P.O. Box 550,
Morrisville orth Carolina 27560.
Their phone number is 919-67 ­
9792 and you may email tbem at

Last year was a tragic year
indeed. 1 personally suffered the
death of my only child and so many
of us lost our homes and
bu ines es. With help from God ,
we can make our lives whole again .
I pray that each and every one of
you who were affected by the
storms r other tragedies during the
past year find peace and harm ny
in your personal and professional
lives as we attempt to move on in
thi· thing called life.
Yours very truly.
