Welcome to the Committee on Dental Auxiliaries

License Verification Instructions and License Status Definitions

You may check on the status of a dental auxiliary license here. Examination results are not available online, but once a person passes the examination and a license is issued, it will appear online.

Keep in mind that each dental auxiliary licensee is only allowed to perform certain duties. For a publication of all laws and regulations governing dental auxiliaries, please visit our laws and regulations web page.

Once you have located the individual record for an auxiliary, you can also determine what additional duties they are allowed to perform.

How to search for a licensee:

Name: Last Name ONLY or Last AND First Name. Partial last names OR complete last names and partial first names may be used for a search. For example: A search on "jons" will result in a list that includes Jons, Jonson, and Jonsen. This is helpful if you are not sure of the exact spelling of a name. If you know the city or county, adding that information will narrow the search.

Match any part of name: Click this radio button to look up a licensee using any part of his or her name.

License Number: Use numbers only, no alphabetical characters. Searching by license number will locate results for that license number only.

City: You may search for all licenses in a city, OR you may narrow your search by entering a name or license number AND a city.

County: You may search for all licenses in a county, OR you may narrow your search by entering a name or license number AND a county.
