Which statement is true about dentists' involvement in licensing under self-regulation?

Explanation:
Self-regulation means a state regulatory board oversees licensure, sets standards, and awards licenses. Dentists may serve on that board and help shape the rules, but they do not personally grant licenses to hygienists. The licensing decision is a board function—the board reviews qualifications and issues licenses after due process—not an action an individual dentist takes. Messages that imply licenses come directly from a dentist, or from the government, or that patient consent is needed for licensure, don’t reflect how self-regulation operates.
