The Governor appoints the six members of the Board of Dental
Examiners. Two members are appointed biennially, from a list of
four practicing dentists furnished by the Maryland State Dental Asso-
ciation. The Dental Practice Act of the State provides that this Board
regulate the practice of dentistry by testing the qualifications of can-
didates for licenses in dentistry and in dental hygiene (Code 1951,
Art. 32).

All applicants for licenses to practice dentistry must be at least
twenty-one years of age and graduates of dental colleges duly incor-
porated to grant degrees in Dental Surgery by the laws of one of the
United States or Canada. All applicants for a license to practice dental
hygiene must be at least twenty years of age and graduates of a
school teaching dental hygiene which has been approved by the Board.
Examinations are held twice a year, and are both written and prac-
tical. Every dentist and every dental hygienist must register annually.

The first board for the examining and licensing of plumbers in
Maryland was established in 1886. The jurisdiction of this board was
limited to Baltimore City. The present Commission was established in
1910. Its jurisdiction includes all of the State, excepting Prince
George's and Montgomery counties. The Board is composed of five
members appointed by the Governor for two-year terms. One member
shall be from Western Maryland, one from Southern Maryland, one
from the Eastern Shore and two from Baltimore. The Commission
examines and certifies journeyman and master plumbers, however, the
latter must have held journeyman certificates for at least two years
prior to applying for a master's certificate. All certificates must be
renewed annually. Appeals from the results of examinations may be
taken to a board of arbiters, one member being appointed by the ap-
pellant, one by the Commission, and a third member appointed by
the other two members of the arbitration board. All members of the
Board must be certified plumbers within the State (Code 1951, Art.
43, secs. 307-315).
