To: Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners From: Lancette VanGuilder, RDH, BS

RE: NSDBE Board Meeting on November 10, 2020

Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy Subcommittee

Cover Letter for Board Agenda item 7(f), CV sent to Mr. Su

I am extremely honored and excited to be considered to serve on the Subcommittee for Dental Hygiene and Dental

Therapy. At the recent committee meeting, the chair requested documentation that supports appointees based on

merit and knowledge on the subject of dental therapy. I am excited that committee appointments will be based

on content knowledge and expertise and wanted to share my background with you.

• I have over 11 years of active working knowledge in the area of dental therapy/ midlevel

providers/alternative workforce models, from 2009 to present day. This includes international and United

States based data collection and perspective.

• I drafted the language and worked with the LCB for SB366 that was presented to the Nevada Legislature

in 2019, including amendments and final bill language that now exists in Nevada Statute. I would consider

myself a content expert who worked with the bill sponsor (Senator Ratti) on a weekly basis for 6 months

and have a very clear picture of the legislative intent of the bill. I worked extensively with nearly a dozen

of the bill supporters (Nevada Tribes, Primary Care Associations, Public Health Associations, Nevada

Community Based Non-Profits, Insurance Companies, Nevada Dental Hygienists Association) as well as the

only group that had initial opposition but went on record as neutral on SB366 (Nevada Dental

Association).

• I am a professional continuing education speaker and have been presenting continuing education courses

around the nation to dentists and dental hygienists on dental therapy for the last 5 years; including the

background, the education and the various models.

• I have served on local, state and national boards/committees for the entirety of my 25 years in the dental

hygiene profession and have solid knowledge of parliamentary procedure and Robert’s Rules of Order.

• I currently serve on the City of Sparks Charter Committee. This committee presents language to the

Nevada Legislature regarding the City of Sparks.

• I currently serve as the chair of the Nevada Dental Hygienists Association Legislative Committee. My

duties are to adhere to the mission of the NDHA: To improve the public’s total health, to advance the

art and science of dental hygiene by ensuring access to quality oral health care, increasing

awareness of the cost-effective benefits of prevention, promoting the highest standards of dental

hygiene education, licensure, practice, and research, and representing and promoting the

interests of dental hygienists.

I do think that if the committee members could already be well versed on the bill language/intent and if the

subcommittee could be comprised of members with expertise in dental therapy background, it would help the

meetings proceed in an efficient manner. I am optimistic that the goal of the meetings could be to: 1) to increase

access to dental care with regulatory language that would allow for dental therapy implementation in our state

that enables providers to utilize their full scope of education and practice and 2) protect the public.

Thank you, in advance, for your consideration and I apologize that I cannot attend meetings held on Tuesdays due

to my work schedule.

November 10, 2020 Dear Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners, Thank you for your consideration for appointment on the Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy sub-committee. Here are a few highlights of my professional background that aid my work on the committee.

• High level of compassion and integrity when working with underserved populations. I am happy to expand on my professional background should you have additional questions. Again, I thank the Board for their consideration and look forward to upholding the mission of NSBDE; to protect the dental health interest of Nevadans. Sincerely. Jessica L. Woods, MPH, RDH

NAC 631.2565 Written consent and medical history of patient required before administration of immunizations. 1. Written consent of the patient must be obtained before the administration of immunizations by an intranasal, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. If the patient is a minor, the consent must be obtained from his or her parent or legal guardian. 2. A medical history must be reviewed before the administration of immunizations by an intranasal, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. A patient should be asked to describe any current medical conditions or treatments, including, without limitation, medications, drug allergies, impending or past operations and pregnancy, and to give other information that may be helpful to the person administering immunizations by an intranasal, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The dental practitioner is not required to make a complete medical examination of the patient and draw medical diagnostic conclusions. If a dental practitioner suspects a medical problem and calls in a physician for an examination and evaluation, he or she may then rely upon that conclusion and diagnosis. Questions asked of and answers received from the patient must be permanently recorded and signed by the patient before the administration of immunizations by an intranasal, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection, and this record must be a permanent part of the patient’s record of treatment.

Public Book Page 41
