4715.14 Registration - notice of change of address.

(A) Each person who is licensed to practice dentistry in Ohio shall, on or before the first day of January of each even-numbered year, register with the state dental board. The registration shall be made on a form prescribed by the board and furnished by the secretary, shall include the licensee’s name, address, license number, and such other reasonable information as the board may consider necessary, and shall include payment of a biennial registration fee of two hundred forty-five dollars. Except as provided in division (D) of this section, this fee shall be paid to the treasurer of state. All such registrations shall be in effect for the two-year period beginning on the first day of January of the even-numbered year and ending on the last day of December of the following odd-numbered year, and shall be renewed in accordance with the standard renewal procedure of sections 4745.01 to 4745.03 of the Revised Code. The failure of a licensee to renew the licensee’s registration in accordance with this section shall result in an automatic suspension of the licensee’s license to practice dentistry.

(B) Any dentist whose license has been suspended under this section may be reinstated by the payment of the biennial registration fee and in addition thereto eighty-one dollars to cover costs of the reinstatement; excepting that to any licensed dentist who desires to temporarily retire from practice, and who has given the board notice in writing to that effect, the board shall grant such a retirement, provided only that at that time all previous registration fees and additional costs of reinstatement have been paid.

(C) Each dentist licensed to practice, whether a resident or not, shall notify the secretary in writing of any change in the dentist’s office address or employment within ten days after such change has taken place. On the first day of July of every even-numbered year, the secretary shall issue a printed roster of the names and addresses so registered.

(D) Twenty dollars of each biennial registration fee shall be paid to the dentist loan repayment fund created under section 3702.95 of the Revised Code.
