The Dental Board deals with complaints relating to professional misconduct and infection control in the dental industry. Complaints usually need to be addressed in writing and the board is unable to provide compensation. The Board is established under the Dental Practice Act 2001. The functions of the Dental Board are detailed in the NSW Dental Practice Act 2001. They include: protection of public health and safety, the maintenance and promotion of professional standards of dental practice in New South Wales, registration of Dentists, Dental Students, Dental Hygienists and Therapists, investigation of complaints lodged under Section 44 Dental Practice Act 2001 and administering professional conduct issues and disciplinary functions.
