Which of the following actions is a violation of dental hygiene law?

  1. Practicing dental hygiene with a valid license

  2. Practicing under a fictitious name

  3. Submitting documentation for license renewal

  4. Providing necessary treatments

The correct answer is: Practicing under a fictitious name

Practicing under a fictitious name is considered a violation of dental hygiene law because it can create confusion regarding the identity and qualifications of the dental hygienist, potentially misleading patients and affecting transparency within the profession. State regulations typically require that dental hygienists operate under their legal name or, if a business name is used, that it be properly registered and compliant with legal standards. This ensures accountability and allows patients to verify credentials without ambiguity. In contrast, practicing dental hygiene with a valid license, submitting documentation for license renewal, and providing necessary treatments are all aligned with legal and ethical standards. These actions demonstrate compliance with established laws and regulations governing the practice of dental hygiene, helping to maintain professionalism and safety in patient care.
