How Florida Dental Hygienist license verification works

A Dental Hygienist in Florida is licensed by the FL Dental Board. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: status standing multistate expires issued discipline+documents public_complaints emergency_actions data_as_of.

Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact and multistate Dental Hygienist licenses

Dental Hygienist licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact. When the Florida record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
