ADA News is exploring how dentists can talk with patients about separating fluoride myths from facts.
While thousands of bills are circulating in Springfield at any given time, we are grateful to our ISDS team at the capitol that is shedding light on an important legislative development that directly impacts dental providers in Illinois. Their expertise in negotiating, monitoring, and advocating for legislation that benefits the dental profession is remarkable. House Bill 2077 brings forth significant changes that enhance the dental profession and improve the practice environment. Let's delve into the critical aspects of this bill and explore why it's crucial to support HB 2077.
House Bill 2077 signifies a transformative milestone for dental providers in Illinois. The tireless advocacy of the Illinois State Dental Society has ensured that our voices are heard, and legislation is enacted to empower dentists and streamline the dental practice. With its provisions addressing the Dental Practice Act, dental records, and the electronic prescription requirement, this bill allows dentists, enhances patient care, and promotes the continued advancement of dentistry in our state. With the bill now approved by the Illinois General Assembly, we eagerly await Governor JB Pritzker's signature to make it law. Thank you, ISDS, for your invaluable advocacy and dedication to the dental community in Illinois.
