What type of actions must the Board hear appeals for?

The type of actions that the Board must hear appeals for typically involve regulatory matters that directly impact the professional credentials and licensure of individuals within the dental field. Withholding or denying a license is a significant decision that affects a practitioner’s ability to legally operate within their profession.

When a license application is denied or a currently held license is revoked or suspended, individuals are often entitled to appeal such decisions to ensure that due process is followed. This appeal process provides a necessary check on the Board's power, allowing individuals the opportunity to contest the Board's determinations based on the evidence and circumstances surrounding their case.

In contrast, the other options presented do not typically fall under the jurisdiction of the Board in terms of appeals. Changing office locations, obtaining health insurance, and hiring staff are operational decisions related to running a dental practice but do not involve licensure or professional standing with regulatory implications that necessitate an appeal to the Board. Thus, the focus on license denials reflects the accountability and oversight role that the Board fulfills in regulating dental professionals.
