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.
