# What changed in California dental auxiliary duties and supervision in 2025?

Answer: Use the current Board duties and supervision table instead of a pre-2025 chart. The update matters because California tests precise duty and supervision combinations. If an answer choice sounds familiar from an older chart, check whether the 2025 update changed that lane.
