# What notices and public disclosures must a California dental office post or display?

Answer: Focus on whether California requires a consumer notice, provider identification, or license-related display in that setting. Public-facing rules often travel with fictitious names, office signage, and who is identified to the patient. The safest answer is the one that uses the actual California notice or display rule rather than generic marketing language.
