The State of Virginia insures its employees with malpractice insurance.
Each dentist and hygienist is obligated to practice dentistry as prescribed by the Statutes and Regulations of the Virginia Board of Dentistry. Please note that while the state is insured against the negative or criminal act of an employee, the employee is not. An example of this might be the slapping of a patient or an action not covered under the rules and regulations of the Virginia Board of Dentistry.
