Dental
Mobile-specific requirements identified16.5.1.28 NMAC addresses mobile facilities and portable dental operations. It requires secure records; records, treatment locations, and operator details available to the Board on request; provider contact information given to patients after care; and agreements with New Mexico dentists for immediate follow-up. Subsection F addresses display of licenses and registrations and lists five exceptions: occasional off-site record-patient care, publicly funded public health services, accredited schools, sedation providers in dental offices, and compliant collaborative hygienists.
Because the exceptions are nested under F, this guide does not treat them as blanket relief from A through E. Ask the Board for an interpretation if the operation plans to rely on a wider exemption.

This guide is for general information and is not legal advice. Regulations can change often. Always check current requirements with state and local licensing authorities before starting services, changing locations, or expanding your program. Consult qualified legal counsel about your specific operations. Verify contact details before sending applications or records.
“No known mobile-specific regulations” means this guide does not identify a separate mobile-specific requirement for the service category in that entry. It is not confirmation that no such requirements exist. General healthcare laws, professional rules, service-specific approvals, payer conditions, and local requirements may still apply. This guide is not an exhaustive compliance checklist.
The professional licensing authorities listed within each jurisdiction are starting points. Facility licensing, pharmacy, radiation, public health, and payer questions may belong to different agencies. Ask the listed authority to direct you to the appropriate office when needed.
