Professional Liability Insurance

Colorado Dental Hygienists Must Maintain Their Own Professional Liability Insurance

Colorado Dental Board Rules require licensed dental hygienists to maintain their own professional liability insurance. Under Rule 1.6(F)(2)(a), dental hygienists must obtain professional liability insurance with minimum coverage of $50,000 per claim and $300,000 annual aggregate, unless they qualify for a financial responsibility exemption under Rule 1.5. Coverage must be maintained by the dental hygienist.

Why It Matters

Professional liability insurance is more than a legal requirement; it's an investment in your career and your license.

Your policy:

• Keeps you compliant with Colorado Dental Board requirements.

• Protects you as an individual licensed professional.

• Follows you throughout your career, even if you change employers or practice settings.

• Provides peace of mind should a professional liability claim arise.

Some employers also carry liability insurance for their practice and employees; however, Colorado Dental Board Rules require the dental hygienist to maintain the required professional liability coverage.
