My state (MA) just passed a "Dental Hygienists Reciprocal Licensure" bill, meaning we now allow foreign trained dentists to be hygienists

Problem: We (Massachusetts) have too few Hygienists. They are asking $75-$100 per hour. There are plenty of dentists in our state who did their dental school outside the US but can't be licensed in the US.

Solution: We just passed a law allowing foreign trained dentists to get their dental hygiene license without having to do 2 years of additional dental school.

Text of the law: https://malegislature.gov/Bills/193/H4842

We were able to get this passed thanks to the help of AID and MDS.
