In a unanimous vote, the Missouri Dental Board approved streamlining its licensing process for spouses of active-duty U.S. Armed Forces' members, according to Daily Star Journal.
Here are three takeaways:
1. The new proposal allows military spouses who are licensed dentists or dental hygienists in other states to earn credentials in Missouri based on their past experience.
2. The board is now required to issue the appropriate license to those who meet the requirements within 60 days of receiving the application and supporting documentation.
3. Spouses who apply for a dental or dental hygiene license will also have their application and initial licensure fees waived.
