relative to the practice of dentistry and when radiographic examinations are required.
Inexpedient to Legislate, MA, VV === BILL KILLED ===; 05/07/2026; SJ 11
Summary
The bill lets a dentist provide care even when a patient declines a suggested radiographic exam, as long as the treatment still meets the dental standard of care. Dentists could require patients to sign a waiver releasing the dentist from lawsuits if the lack of an x‑ray causes injury. It also shields dentists from disciplinary action for following this rule.
