				until he or she completes a one year general practice residency, advanced
				education general dentistry residency, or pedodontic residency or a minimum of
				one academic year of undergraduate clinical coursework in dentistry at a dental
				school approved by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental
				Accreditation. At the time of application for reexamination the applicant must
				furnish proof from the educational institution of successful completion of one
				of the residency programs listed above or the required coursework. However, for
				those applicants completing their coursework immediately prior to the
				examination or those applicants who have completed at least 9 months of a
				general practice residency, who cannot provide an official transcript, proof of
				having successfully completed the required coursework or residency shall
				consist of a statement from the dean of the school where the coursework or
				residency was completed that the requirements of this rule will have been met
				prior to the date set for issuance of examination grades. Grades received by a
				candidate taking the examination pursuant to this exception will not be
				certified, and grade results will be null and void if successful completion of
				the coursework or residency has not been established prior to the date set for
				issuance of examination grades. Successful completion of coursework shall be
				established by submission of an official transcript.
(2) The statutory provision that an applicant
				complete additional educational requirements if he or she fails to pass a
				specified portion of the examination three times is interpreted by the Board to
				mean that additional education shall be required after every third unsuccessful
				attempt, i.e., after the third, sixth, ninth, etc.,
				attempts.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) As used in the rules of the Board, the
				terms "advertisement" and "advertising" shall mean any statements, oral or
				written, disseminated to or before the public or any portion thereof with the
				intent of furthering the purpose, either directly or indirectly, of selling
				professional services, or offering to perform professional services, or
				inducing members of the public to enter into any obligation relating to such
				professional services. The provisions of this rule shall apply to media
				exposure of any nature regardless of whether it is in the form of paid
				advertising.
(2) All advertising in
				any media must identify the Florida licensed dentist, who assumes total
				responsibility for the advertisement. The term "identify" shall mean the use of
				the license number of the dentist as it appears on his license and renewal
				certificate or the use of the licensee's commonly used name together with the
				current address and telephone number the licensee has on file with the
				Department.
(3) No dentist shall
				disseminate or cause the dissemination of any advertisement or advertising
				which is in any way fraudulent, false, deceptive, or misleading in form or
				content. Additionally, no dentist shall disseminate or cause the dissemination
				of any advertisement or advertising which:
(a) Contains misrepresentations of
				fact;
(b) Is likely to mislead or
				deceive because in its context or in the context in which it is presented it
				makes only a partial disclosure of relevant facts;
(c) Contains laudatory statements about the
				dentist or group of dentists;
(d)
				Is intended or is likely to create false, unjustified expectations of favorable
				results;
(e) Relates to the quality
				of dental services provided as compared to other available dental
				services;
(f) Contains other
				representations or implications that in reasonable probability will cause an
				ordinary prudent person to misunderstand or to be deceived. For example, it is
				fraudulent, false, deceptive, and misleading for a dentist who utilizes the
				laser in his dental practice to advertise that the use of lasers is painless,
				heals faster, or provides better results than other dental procedures. However,
				a dentist may advertise that he treats patients with a laser in certain
				instances;
(g) Is intended or is
				likely to appeal primarily to a layperson's fears.
Florida Administrative Code › 64 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › 64B5 - Board of Dentistry › Chapter 64B5-4 - ADVERTISING › Section 64B5-4.003 - Advertisement of Fees and Discounted Services

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) An appropriate disclosure regarding
				advertised fees is necessary to protect the public since there is no uniform
				code available which would enable a fair and rational selection based upon
				advertised fees.
(2) Any
				advertisement containing fee information shall contain a disclaimer that the
				fee is a minimum fee only.
(3) Any
				advertised fee for a dental service shall state a specified period during which
				the fee is in effect or that service shall remain available at or below the
				advertised fee for at least 90 days following the final advertisement for that
				service.
(4) Any dental service for
				which a fee is advertised shall be accompanied either by a description of that
				service using the exact wording for that service contained in the American
				Dental Association's "Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature" which is
				hereby adopted and incorporated by reference or by the specific ADA Code number
				or numbers which accurately and fully describes the advertised dental service.
				Listing of a category of service (diagnostic, preventive, restorative,
				endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics-removable, prosthodontics-fixed, oral
				surgery, orthodontics) or a sub-category (any procedure whose ADA Code # ends
				in 00, i.e., root canal therapy 03300) is not sufficient for the purpose of
				advertising a fee. The advertisement must specify by use of exact nomenclature
				or exact code number what procedure within the sub-category is being offered.
				If no fee is specified for a procedure advertised then a general description of
				procedure by category or sub-category is permitted.
(5) Any advertisement for free or discounted
				services must comply with the requirements of Section
				456.062, F.S., and must also
				clearly identify the dates that free, discounted or reduced fee services will
				be available.
