Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 95, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 August 1899 — New Dental Law. [ARTICLE]

New Dental Law.

Saturday was the last day for dentists to register at the county clerk’s office and obtain a license. The new law regulating the practice of dentistry went into effect March 6th. It makes it unlawful for any one to practice dentistry in the state who has not first obtained a license to do so. The law also provided that all dentists within ninety days after the law became effective should obtain, from the oounty clerk a license, by presenting their certificate from the state fapard of dental examiners. fJuch certificate and a fee of 50 oents entitles them to a license. The law provides a penalty of not less than $25 nor more than S2OO for practising without license. So far as we are able to learn Dr. Morris of Remington, is the only dentist in this county who has failed to comply with the re* quirements of the statute. .
