## Answers in this topic
### how to pass the Florida dental laws and rules exam
Answer: Florida's Laws and Rules exams are closed-book, computer-based exams at Prometric test centers: up to 67 items for dentists (FDLR, $135) and up to 64 for hygienists (FHLR, $105), each 90 minutes with a 75% minimum score and pass/fail results in 2-3 business days. Questions come only from Chapter 456 and Chapter 466, Florida Statutes, and Division 64B5, Florida Administrative Code — study the rule texts in force since June 1, 2026, not older summaries (the 2019 booklet's 64B27 chapter is no longer in the vendor's published scope). Florida publishes no pass rate for these exams. The ADEX 18-month completion window applies to the clinical examination parts; the Laws and Rules exams are standalone computer-based exams.

### Florida dental laws and rules exam guide
Answer: The Florida Laws and Rules examinations draw exclusively from Chapter 456, Florida Statutes (general health-professions provisions), Chapter 466, Florida Statutes (the Dental Practice Act), and Division 64B5 of the Florida Administrative Code (Board of Dentistry rules). Every Florida licensure pathway requires the exam — including MOBILE endorsement for out-of-state dentists — because Florida issues no license by general reciprocity. The hygienist exam caps Chapter 456 material at 3% by rule (64B5-2.0135(2)(c)).

### Florida dental hygiene laws and rules exam

By rule it covers Chapter 466, Chapter 456, and Division 64B5 — with no more than 3% on Chapter 456 — and hygienist candidates are tested hardest on their own scope, supervision levels, delegation, and dental charting rules.
