Current through April 3, 2024
All dental assistants issued registrations by the Board must
renew those registrations to be able to legally continue in practice.
Registration renewal is governed by the following:
(1) Renewal application
(a) The due date for registration renewal is
the last day of the month in which a registrant's birthday falls pursuant to
the Division of Health Related Boards "birthdate renewal system" contained on
the renewal certificate as the expiration date.
(b) Methods of Renewal
1. Internet Renewals - Individuals may apply
for renewal and pay the necessary fees via the Internet. The application to
renew can be accessed at:
www.tennesseeanytime.org
2. Paper Renewals - For
individuals who have not renewed their registration online via the Internet, a
renewal application form will be mailed to each individual registered by the
Board to the last address provided to the Board. Failure to receive such
notification does not relieve the registrant from the responsibility of meeting
all requirements for renewal.
(c) A registration issued pursuant to these
rules is renewable by the expiration date. To be eligible for renewal an
individual must submit to the Division of Health Related Boards on or before
the expiration date the following:
1. A
completed renewal application form.
2. The renewal and state regulatory fees as
provided in Rule 0460-01-.02.
3. Proof of successful completion of the
Tennessee Board of Dentistry Ethics and Jurisprudence examination.
(d) Registrants who fail to comply
with the renewal rules or notification received by them concerning failure to
timely renew shall have their registrations processed pursuant to rule
1200-10-01-.10.
(2) Reinstatement of an Expired
Registration - Reinstatement of a registration that has expired may be
accomplished upon meeting the following conditions:
(a) Payment of all past due renewal fees,
state regulatory fees and the reinstatement fee as established in rule
0460-01-.02; and
(b) Provide documentation of successfully
completing continuing education requirements for the entire time the
registration was expired, pursuant to Rule
0460-01-.05; and
(c) Submit proof of successful completion of
the Tennessee Board of Dentistry Ethics and Jurisprudence
examination.
(d) Any registrant who
fails to renew registration prior to the expiration of the second (2nd) year
after which renewal is due may be required to meet other conditions as the
Board may deem necessary to protect the public.
(3) Anyone submitting a renewal form,
reinstatement/reactivation application, or letter which is found to be untrue
may be subject to disciplinary action as provided in T.C.A. §
63-5-124.
(4) Renewal issuance decisions pursuant to
this rule may be made administratively, upon review by the Board.
