- Temporary licenses to practice dental hygiene may be issued by the Board at its discretion to Dental Hygienists under the following terms and conditions:(1) Requirements for application. An applicant for a temporary license to practice dental hygiene in Oklahoma shall file an application with the Board to take the next clinical examination required by the Board. Applicant must enclose with his or her application:(A) National Board scores.(B) Copy of Dental Hygiene Certificate of diploma from an accredited dental hygiene program.(C) Submit a certificate verifying the results of the examination given to the applicant by the state or jurisdiction in which such applicant was heretofore issued a license to practice dental hygiene and a copy of the current license in good standing from the state.(C) Must furnish proof of active practice in the two years preceding application.(D) Must submit four (3) letters of recommendation.(E) Submit an official transcript of dental hygiene school.(2) Issuance of a temporary license, expiration date. After examination of the documents submitted with the application, if the Board finds that the applicant successfully passed the examination given by the other state or jurisdiction, is in good standing, and that the nature and extent of the examination given by the other state was equivalent to the clinical examination required by the Board, then the Board may issue to the applicant a temporary license to practice dental hygiene in the State of Oklahoma. Such temporary license shall expire as of the date the next clinical examinations required by the Board.(3) Fee. A fee as set by the Board shall be charged for the issuance of a temporary license.(4) Examination on State Dental Act and Rules. Applicants for a temporary license must come to the Board's office and pass a test regarding the content of the State Dental Act and Rules before a temporary license will be issued.(5) Personal Interview. Applicant may be requested to appear for personal interview with the Board and/or its designated agent.(6) The issuance of a temporary license gives said dental hygienist the same rights and privileges as a license in good standing, therefore, the responsibilities will be the same as one who holds a permanent license to practice dental hygiene; such dental hygienist will be liable and governed by all rules as one who holds an active license in good standing to practice dental hygiene.
