Here is what was discussed at the TSBDE emergency meeting about Rule 108.7. These updates will be presented to the governor. If accepted, they will be added to the register.
*Please understand that TDHA has nothing to do with the decisions on these updates and rules. We are only reporting to you, the hygienists of Texas, what The Texas State Board of Dental Examiner's has decided*
