Built for the calls dental hygiene + solo LDH + preventive dental care actually get

UPL (unauthorized practice of dentistry) guardrail — preventive + screening + referral ONLY

Safety.ts rule 16 R21 extension: in states allowing LDH-only solo practice (MN Statute 150A.105, CO Title 12 Article 35, MA c.112 §51, ME, OR), the AI NEVER books patients for diagnosis / exam-of-record / treatment-planning / extraction consult / root-canal evaluation / crown/bridge planning / implant consult. LDH scope is PREVENTIVE + SCREENING + REFERRAL — diagnosis is UPL exposure under state dental-practice acts. Safe response for caller asking 'I need an exam': 'I can do a periodontal screening + cleaning + take x-rays per my collaborative-dentist agreement, but for diagnostic exam or treatment planning, I'll refer you to a DDS — would you like that referral?' Audit credit: Mai-Pao Yang Vue R21 (queer Hmong LDH St. Paul MN).

Hmong-majority panel + cultural-context intake (Hmong txiv neeb coordination)

Hmong-American dental clientele (St. Paul + Fresno + Wausau + Sacramento + Milwaukee + Denver) may coordinate dental visits around Hmong shaman (txiv neeb) ceremonies (fasting, ritual timing, soul-calling post-procedure). The AI captures: cultural-coordination request + preferred visit timing (NOT during ua neeb ceremony or hu plig soul-calling) + post-procedure soul-calling needs + dietary-restriction during ceremony periods. Honest gap: Hmong language NOT supported by voice synthesis (R15 + R18 disclosures). Monolingual Hmong elders get English fallback or fall-back-to-bilingual-family-member translator.

Medicaid + MinnesotaCare + DSHS + Title XIX public-payer intake

Solo LDH practices often serve Medicaid-heavy panel. The AI captures: Medicaid # + state-specific (MinnesotaCare in MN, Medi-Cal CA, MA Health MassHealth, DSHS WA), eligibility-recertification date, dental-benefits status, prior-authorization needs, sliding-scale + grant-funded slots. State-specific public-payer billing distinct from private-insurance.

Collaborative-supervising-dentist agreement + referral routing

LDH solo practice requires collaborative-supervising-dentist agreement in most states. The AI captures: which collaborative DDS supervises + their referral hierarchy (general dentist, periodontist, oral surgeon, endodontist, prosthodontist, pediatric specialist). When the AI surfaces a UPL-triggering inquiry ('I think I need a root canal'), routes to the documented collaborative DDS + offers warm handoff.

LGBTQ+-affirming + chosen-name + identity non-confirmation

Pronouns + chosen-name (rule 10a) captured. Identity non-confirmation (rule 21a) for trans + queer patients facing hostile-family fishing. Same posture as /for/therapists R13 + /for/tattoo-artists R12 LGBTQ+-affirming patterns. For queer Hmong + Vietnamese + Korean dental patients facing intersectional pressure, the AI's intake is gentle + neutral.

LDH credential attestation + state-license verification (rule 21b R21)

Public + verifiable LDH credentials: state Board of Dentistry license # + collaborative-practice DDS agreement on file + RDH (Registered Dental Hygienist) credential + state-specific scope-of-practice certification. Affirmed verbatim from business_notes per rule 21b R21 extension. Patients + referring DDSs may verify; AI confidently affirms documented credentials.

FAQ for dental hygiene + solo LDH + preventive dental care

Will the AI accidentally book me for a diagnostic exam (UPL exposure)?

No. Safety.ts rule 16 R21 extension hard-codes LDH scope-of-practice: NEVER books diagnosis / exam-of-record / treatment-planning / extraction consult / root-canal eval / crown/bridge planning. Routes diagnostic inquiries to your collaborative-supervising-dentist. Preventive + screening + referral scope only.

Hmong elder patient + txiv neeb shaman ceremony coordination?

Yes. Captures cultural-coordination request + preferred visit timing (NOT during ua neeb ceremony or hu plig soul-calling) + post-procedure soul-calling needs + dietary-restriction during ceremony periods. Honest gap: Hmong language NOT supported by voice synthesis (R15 disclosure). Monolingual Hmong elders get English fallback or family-member translator.

Medicaid + MinnesotaCare + DSHS intake?

Yes. State-specific public-payer billing (MinnesotaCare MN, Medi-Cal CA, MassHealth MA, DSHS WA) + eligibility-recertification + prior-authorization + sliding-scale + grant-funded slots captured. Distinct from private-insurance flow.

LDH credential verification — does the AI affirm?

Yes. Rule 21b R21 extension: state Board of Dentistry license # + collaborative-practice DDS agreement + RDH credential affirmed verbatim from business_notes. Patients + referring DDSs may verify confidently.

Trans + LGBTQ+ patients — pronouns + chosen-name handled?

Yes. Rule 10a chosen-name + pronouns captured. Identity non-confirmation (rule 21a) for trans + queer patients facing hostile-family fishing. Same LGBTQ+-affirming posture as /for/therapists R13 + /for/tattoo-artists R12 + /for/massage-therapists R12.
