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 Dental Board of the Northern Territory is a statutory body responsible for ensuring the public is protected through the regulation of dental practitioners registered in the Northern Territory.
The Dental Board carries out this mandate by: Ensuring that all dental practitioners have received educational preparation to an agreed national standard; Dealing with issues of conduct and taking any disciplinary action as required; Administering the framework under which impaired dental practitioners can be rehabilitated without necessarily losing their license to practice; Assisting to improve dental practitioners performance should it be found to be below accepted professional standards, and Ensuring that all dental practitioners either currently registered or intending to be registered are competent and fit to practise.
