What is one condition for a dentist working under a limited volunteer license?

A dentist operating under a limited volunteer license in North Carolina must work under the direction of a licensed dentist. This condition ensures that the care provided is monitored and adheres to the standards of practice established by the state. The limited volunteer license is typically designed for dentists who wish to contribute their skills in a volunteer capacity, often in community health settings, where they may not have full licensure to practice independently.

This requirement serves several purposes: it protects the public by ensuring that treatment is overseen by a qualified professional, it helps maintain a standard of care, and it provides a framework within which volunteer dentists can operate safely and effectively. Having a licensed dentist supervise volunteer activities helps safeguard patients while allowing the volunteer dentist to gain valuable experience within a structured environment.
