I support this action to change the renewal period to the dentist's birth month opposed to March 31st.

Supporting License Renewal Date Change for 2020
 

 

I 100% support the proposal of changing the renewal schedule from a set date of March 31st to renewal in one’s birth month.

Opposed to date change
 

My birth month is December. There is so much to do by year end professionally and personally now that it is not acceptable to add this to my year end list of things to do.  This only affects 1/12 of the group, however, I would like this to be considered.

Why can’t you just leave things alone? A needless change that will just confuse people, resulting in late fees and fines. Oh, maybe that’s the reason...

Opposed to the change
 

We all know that our license is due at the beginning of each year.  We have 3 months to renew.  Keep the renewal March 31.

In dental school we had it ingrained that we needed to renew by the March 31 and if we didn’t we would need retake our boards. To change it to our birthday after so many years the same way is only fair for old graduates to be Grandfathered in to same date and new students can learn Birthday date. Min

Support the change
 

Great idea. Totally makes sense to distribute the workload evenly throughout the year. This way the Board has more time and resources which they can devote towards better customer service, etc. Also easier for each provider to remember the due date.
