Dental Board of California held a teleconference meeting on Feb. 5, 2026. The board approved minutes, adopted a 2026–2029 strategic plan (with an amendment changing a phrasing about anesthesia), made committee appointments and reappointments to the Dental Assisting Council, heard budget and licensure updates, received a presentation from HCAI on loan-repayment programs (noting constrained state funding of $333,000), denied an elective facial cosmetic surgery (EFCS) category 3 permit for one applicant, and voted to deny a petition requesting formal regulations on complaint intake and closure procedures.
