Dear Mr. Ahmed:

I am Brad Edmonds, Executive Director/General Counsel of the Board of Dental Examiners of Alabama.

Attached please find our most updated spreadsheet of licensee data. You asked for:

1. Provider name--included
2. NPI number--this is a matter of federal law, and we have never collected this information from providers
3. Alabama state license number and initial date of issuance and current expiration--included
4. Education/school/training--included, where we have that information. We are giving you everything in our database.
5. Provider type--included. We license dentists and dental hygienists only.
7. [sic] Specialty--included, where we have that information.
8. Practice location--included.

Indeed, we have included a little more information than you requested. We have included not only licensees, but permittees. Dentists may obtain permits, in addition to their licenses, for controlled substances, parenteral sedation, general anesthesia, and oral conscious sedation. Hygienists may obtain permits, in addition to their licenses, to administer infiltration anesthesia. We have included that information as well, because it required no additional effort.

There is no fee for this.

If you have any further questions, please contact me directly at brad@dentalboard.org.

Sincerely,
Brad Edmonds

From: Kamran Ahmed
