§ 1771 Unauthorized Dental Assistant Titles

• •You can't call yourself a dental assistant or use similar titles unless you have a license or permit from the board.
• •If you pretend to be a licensed dental assistant when you're not, you're breaking the law.
• •This is a small crime (misdemeanor), so you could get in trouble with the police.

Someone works at a dentist's office and tells patients they are a 'registered dental assistant' but they don’t have a license.

This person is breaking the law because they are pretending to be licensed when they are not. They could get in trouble for this.
