California dental practice compliance checklist

California dental compliance spans records, auxiliary scope, infection-control and Cal/OSHA obligations, and practice operations; use the compliance hub and linked topic pages for source-specific details.

California dental record retention requirements

California has no single statutory retention period for every private dental chart. HSC §123145's seven-year and minor-record periods apply only to providers licensed under four listed HSC provisions when they cease operation; Medi-Cal provider records follow a separate 10-year rule.

California RDA scope of practice

California dental auxiliary scope depends on the auxiliary category and delegated duty; the state recognizes direct and general supervision under BPC section 1741, not an indirect-supervision category.

California dental OSHA requirements checklist

A California dental office typically keeps five written safety plans current: Infection Control, Exposure Control, Injury and Illness Prevention, Hazard Communication, and Radiation Safety, plus recurring training, logs, SDS access, eyewash, and sterilizer testing tasks.
