State Governing Boards for Dentistry 

Only a few states have state laws regulating dental laboratories and/or dental technicians. For those states that do regulate dental laboratories, each state law is different, so it is the responsibility of the laboratory to ensure they are in compliance. Additionally, several states require out of state dental laboratories doing business with dentists in their state to also comply with state laws.

Outside of general regulation of dental laboratories, most states do regulate whether or not products made by dental laboratories are subject to sales tax. Please inquire of each state's Department of Revenue for the most up to date information.
