59 (c) Discussion for the development of standards and criteria for the Continuing Education Committee when60 approving post graduate dental hygiene local anesthesia and nitrous oxide courses6162 Dr. Blasco began the meeting indicating that they do not have any protocol set in place on what criteria they can use63 to guide them on approving local anesthesia and nitrous oxide courses. He indicated that in the last year they have64 accepted LA & N20 courses that were taken post-graduate, but they had no protocol to guide them. He indicated65 that the problem is that they cannot deny someone’s course if they don’t have a curriculum to go by. There is66 discussion on the mechanisms that the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) teaches which is what Truckee Meadows67 Community College (TMCC) bases their curriculum on. Dr. Blasco inquired on the requirements that must be met for68 the WREB and ADEX exams that enable a candidate fit to administer at the exam. He suggested, perhaps, following69 the same criteria as the examination agencies.70 Mrs. Peterson approached the committee and offered any information relevant to how the courses are taught,71 and discussed the writers behind the text books used at CSN when teaching their anesthesia and nitrous oxide72 courses.73 Dr. Blasco’s concern was the abffity to find or create criteria for those licensees who have completed a post-74 graduate course. He indicated that he wants to be sure that whichever post-graduate course is completed by a person75 for a permit, is a sufficient course for local anesthesia or nitrous oxide. Mrs. Shaffer-Kugel commented that they could76 draft language for the minimum requirements and send them to each school/entity where applicant took the course to77 see if the course curriculum meets the Boards’ minimum requirements. She further stated, that the Board could78 always set what requirements must be met in regulation.79 Mrs. Solie commented to the conmilttee that they should focus on the criteria they wifi require and what they80 wifi accept as the basic curriculum to approve a course. Dr. Blasco suggested perhaps looking at the criteria that81 WREB and ADEX uses to allow for candidates to sit for their anesthesia exam and/or administer during their clinical82 exam. Mrs. Peterson explained that ADEX only allows students to administer anesthesia for the exam. WREB, she83 further explained, offers and adniinisters a didactic clinical exam for anesthesia. Dr. Sifi indicated that one solution84 could be that the Board begins to accept the VJREB anesthesia exam. Dr. Blasco indicated that they could review the85 WREB anesthesia exam guidelines, and potentially consider adopting it. Mr. Hunt noted to the committee that the86 Board could change the regulation to adopt the set standard from WREBs Anesthesia exam and they could use that to87 base their approvals on. Mrs. Shaffer-Kugel indicated that the committee could review the standards of WREB and88 the other criteria from the schools to base their requirements. Dr. Sifi commented that for now, the committee could89 work on obtaining the WREB guidelines and, potentially, adding them into the regulation. Further, for the time being90 have Dr. Blasco use the WREB requirements as a guideline. Mrs. Peterson indicated that she will provide Mrs.91 Shaffer-Kugel with the WREB anesthesia guidelines. Dr. Blasco indicated that they will be recommending the ‘WREB92 anesthesia guidelines to the Board that these will be the temporary standard guidelines until the regulation can be93 changed.9495 4.

Nevada State Board of Dental ExaminersDebra Shaffer-Kugel, Executive Director6010 S. Rainbow Blvd., Bldg. A, Ste. 1Las Vegas, NV 89118

Dear Nevada State Board of Dentistry,

I, Gregory Greenwood, am writing this letter petitiomng to appear before the board on the

August 1, 2014 meeting, in person. I would like an opportunity to explain and detail events that

led to the signing of a consent decree in December 2013 with the Louisiana State Board of

Dentistry. Currently, I am practicing dentistry iii the state of Louisiana, and my license is active

and iii good standing. I desire to activate my Nevada dental license and move to Nevada. I

attended UNLV dental school, lived in Las \7egus for 8 years, and own a home in Nevada.

I wish to briefly detail the events that led to the consent decree on my Louisiana dental

license in December 2013. I was performing IV conscious sedation in 5 different dental offices,

and due to lack of adequate help, the entries in my sedation drug log were transposed and logged

incorrectly. ~fh~ was discovered during the annual inspection by the state board investigator.

In addition, during the inspection, it was discovered that I did not fill out the proper DEA

import/export form to provide medications during the dental mission trips that I attend

I have since made the necessary adjustments in the way I practice IV sedation to comply with all

state, DEA, and federal laws.

Sincerely,

b~ ~• ~1) ~M,~

Gregory W. Greenwood, DMD, Phannl), MaCSD

Dear Ms. Shaffer-Kugel,

On behalf of the staff and Board of Trustees of The Huntridge Teen Clinic, I am writing to express oursincere thanks for your donation in the amount of $50,000 for our Teen Dental Program.

This year The Huntridge Teen Clinic celebrates twenty years of providing free or nominal-cost medicaland dental care and counseling to disadvantaged teens. Our goal is to keep these kids in school byremoving impediments to academic success, such as dental pain and untreated disease. Most of today’steens will someday be employed in our community. We believe the work we’re doing will make thembetter, more dependable and more productive employees.

We recently upgraded our web site. Please visit us at huntridge.org to meet the staff and volunteers inour clinic who do so much to help disadvantaged teens. I am also enclosing a brief description of theTeen Dental Program.

We are dedicated to improving the lives of kids in need, both for them and for the future of ourcommunity. Thank you for supporting us in that mission and thanks again for the generous donation.

The Huntridge Teen Clinic

The teenage years are the most memorable years of our lives, but they can also be the most stressful.For teens from families in underserved areas with meager financial resources and no insurance, thestress is often compounded by untreated medical and dental needs and a lack of credible information.The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has consistently reported that medical issues areamong the leading reasons why kids fall behind in school, and ultimately drop out. Specificallymentioned is chronic dental pain. The staff and Board of Trustees of The Fluntridge Teen Clinic aredetermined to help the underprivileged youth of our community as they grapple with these adult issues.Our goal is to ensure that underprivileged youth have an equally fair chance at academic and careersuccess.

Mission StatementThe mission of The Fluntridge Teen Clinic is to provide free or nominal-cost medical and dental careand counseling to uninsured, underserved and at-risk teenagers who are ineligible or unable to obtaincare otherwise.

HistoryThe Huntridge Teen Clinic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation established in October 1994 initially asa medical clinic. The dental clinic was added in 1998. The two clinics serve 2,500 teens per year.These are kids from families with meager financial resources, no insurance and few options. Seventy-eight percent are minority children and 93% live at or below the federal poverty level. They areamong the most vulnerable people in our society. In most cases, The Huntridge Teen Clinic representstheir only hope for the basic medical and dental care and counseling that most people take for granted.

Criteria for acceptance in either the medical or dental clinic is that the patient must be between the agesof twelve and eighteen, except the Clinic will continue seeing an existing patient through age nineteen.

Teen Dental ProgramThe dental clinic has four chairs in frilly-equipped dental operatories. A dental hygienist is employedby the Clinic who has been granted a Public Health Endorsement by the Nevada State Board of DentalExaminers.

For fillings, extractions, root canals and other restorative procedures requiring a licensed dentist, theClinic relies on a pool of volunteers from the community. These individuals unselfishly donate theirprecious time and skills to serve teens at the Clinic, or occasionally at their place of business. Toaugment our volunteer dentist program, the Clinic in 2009 entered into an Affiliation Agreement withUNLV School of Dental Medicine under which UNLV students and faculty spend one day per week atthe Clinic providing restorative care to our teens. This affiliation has proven so popular with studeniand faculty that IJNLV-SDM has requested that it be expanded to two days per week, as earl’autumn 2014.

The dental clinic charges $20 per visit and a $55 lab fee if crowns are required. Evenfees are often waived. There are no other charges for dental services.

Huntridge Homeless Adult ProjectIn 2008 The Huntridge Teen Clinic, in collaboration with UNLV School of Dental Medicine, beganproviding restorative dental care to homeless adults. Although treating adults is a departure from ourmission statement, we accepted this challenge because our clinic is unique: We have the facility, theequipment and an existing pool of volunteer dentists in place to do the work.

Oral health for homeless adults is more than a humanitarian issue. We believe that many, if not most,of the unemployed homeless would work if they could interview successfully. But interview success isnear impossible if one’s teeth are missing or unsightly. Many homeless people will not even go oninterviews because of embarrassment over unsightly teeth, resulting in hundreds of potentiallyproductive employees being excluded from meaningful employment. The cost to our community issubstantial, through the increased utilization of social services and unemployment benefits.

The Homeless Adult Project is funded separately from the Teen Medical and Dcntal Programs.Appointments occur on Saturdays only, so as not to interfere with the Teen Program, and are arrangedthrough a network of referring partners including Salvation Army, HELP of Southern Nevada, LasVegas Rescue Mission and several area churches. For hundreds of homeless people in our community,the Project represents an opportunity to break the cycle of poverty and dependence.

The waiting list is an indication of the need for dental services among homeless adults in ourcommunity. It is currently seven months long.

Corporate GovernanceThe Huntridge Teen Clinic is governed by a Board of Trustees consisting of nine community leaderswho (1) are involved in medicine or dentistry, (2) work with adolescents as counselors, educators ormentors or (3) offer an expertise critical to the Clinics success. The Board meets ten times annually;

AAVOAdopt a Vet Dental Program

Debra Shaffer, Executive DirectorNevada State Board of Dental Examiners6010 S. Rainbow Blvd., Suite AlLas Vegas, NV 89118

Dear Debra:

Thank you so much for selecting the Adopt a Vet Dental Program (AAVD) to receive a donation of$50,000 on June 26, 2014, resulting from your corrective action stipulation. Needless to say, we arevery grateful to receive these funds which will allow us to continue helping our low-incomeveterans with dental care that truly saves and transforms their lives.

The number of veterans enrolled at our Reno VA has increased from 38,000 last October to 56,000this year so far and only about 5% of them will quali~ for dental care. So the demand for dentalcare through AAVD has also increased as we continue to help low-income veterans who simplycannot afford to see a dentist. Although we have 110 dentists and specialists that have donatedover $1,179,300 in dental care services, AAVD is responsible for all the dental lab costs fordentures, partials, and crowns. Our dental labs donate when they can but because of the quantity ofveterans now going through our program, AAVD must pay for the dental lab services at negotiatedcosts. Also, AAVD pays a dentist at Medicaid prices or the HAWC Clinic at discount prices foremergency tooth extractions (if we cannot get it donated) when a veteran is faced with a criticalmedical situation from abscesses and infection. AAVD is pleased to tell you that over 385 low-income veterans have received either full-service and/or emergency dental care. However, ourwaiting list for veterans requiring full-service dental care is now up to 312 veterans and the waittime is approaching 3 years for dental care so our need for more dentists and funding continues togrow. The funds you have provided will make an enormous impact in helping so many moreveterans with dental care.

This May marked the fourth year in operation for AAVD. In June 2013, we merged with theNorthern Nevada Dental Health Program for continued stability and growth and we are excited tobe a part of this incredible organization. Our “grassroots” program has been successful because ofthe generosity and caring dental community while the necessary funding has been provided byprivate donations and grants. Unfortunately, we receive no funding from the State or FederalGovernment (including the VA) yet 99% of our referrals come from the VA.

Thank you again for making a huge positive impact on our program!

Sincerely,

Linda J. Haigh, FounderAdopt a Vet Dental Program
