How Texas Dental Hygienist license verification works

A Dental Hygienist in Texas is licensed by the TX 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 license_type status issued expires dental_school graduated practice_type year_of_birth city county disciplinary_files remedial_files documents.

Board note: TX-TSBDE, rung 1: TSBDE's own search (ls.tsbde.texas.gov, PHP + server-side DataTables; POST lib/php/functions.php getTable with per-column filters, getRecord for the card + board-order PDFs). Tables dentist / hygienist / dentalassistant / labs. Page certifies it is a primary source. The earlier DSHS/HPC datamart links (vo.ras.dshs / vo.licensing.hpc) are the state system behind login+reCAPTCHA and are not needed. Year of birth only. Live 2026-11-03.

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 Texas 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.
