What is the required timeframe for notifying the board of a change of address?

In New Jersey, dental hygienists are required to notify the State Board of Dentistry within 30 days of any change to their address. This timeframe is established to ensure that the board has accurate and current contact information for professionals, facilitating communication regarding important updates, licensing renewals, and maintaining the regulatory standards of practice.

Timely notification helps prevent issues such as missed notifications or updates regarding licensure, compliance requirements, or any disciplinary matters. By adhering to the 30-day requirement, dental hygienists can stay in good standing with their licensing board and ensure they are meeting their legal obligations.
