relative to the practice of dentistry and when radiographic examinations are required.

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.
