Dental Lab Registration Renewal
All dental laboratory registrations issued by the Kentucky Board of Dentistry expire on July 31 of each year. Dental labs that wish to continue doing business in Kentucky must renew their registration before this date. The renewal portal below is now open and will remain active through the end of July.
Regulatory Notice
On July 15, 2025, the Board of Dentistry filed paperwork to amend 201 KAR 8:563, the administrative regulation governing the licensure of dental hygienists. A public hearing for this amendment is scheduled for Sept. 24, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern at the Board of Dentistry office. Written comments will also be accepted by mail or email through Sept.30. The proposed amendment will be posted to the board's regulatory page on the LRC website. A copy is also available on our website here.
Mandatory e-Prescribing of Controlled Substances
As part of the Kentucky Controlled Substances Act, KRS 218A.182 requires electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS), meaning that with few exceptions, paper prescriptions are no longer allowed. This applies to practitioners regardless of practice size, quantity of prescriptions issued, or type of charting system. Prescribers can choose to purchase
a standalone prescribing solution or one associated with an electronic health record (EHR) service. For more information, visit the KASPER page or contact the Help Desk.
