How Rhode Island Dental Hygienist license verification works

A Dental Hygienist in Rhode Island is licensed by the RI 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: license_number profession license_type status issued expires secondary_license_type education city state.

Board note: RIDOH 'Dental': Dentist (DEN#####), Dental Hygienist / Public Health Dental Hygienist; RI licenses only Maxillofacial Surgery Dental Assistants (dental_assistant maps to that type).

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 Rhode Island 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.
