Licensing Information Anyone with a criminal record who is interested in pursuing an education to become a licensed dentist or dental hygienist in Louisiana has the right to petition the Board prior to beginning the education program for a determination pursuant to R.S. 37:33 on whether their criminal history would disqualify them from licensure. Criminal convictions may be used as a basis for denial of licensure. All of the factors listed in R.S. 37:2950 will be considered in determining whether licensure will be denied.
