§ 1805 Dental Corporation Licensing Requirements

• •Only licensed dentists can be bosses, owners, or managers in a dental company.
• •If you're not a licensed dentist, you can't make big decisions or own part of the company.
• •This rule makes sure only people who know about teeth run dental businesses.

If your friend is a dentist and starts a dental clinic, they can be the boss. But if their spouse, who is not a dentist, wants to help run the clinic, they can't be a boss or owner.

The law says only licensed dentists can be in charge or own a dental company. So, the spouse can help with other things, but not with making big decisions or owning part of the clinic.
