The bill aims to establish the Malaysian Dental Council (MDC) and the Malaysian Dental Therapist Board (MDTB), which will regulate the dental profession.
The MDC and the MDTP will also give accreditation to dental professionals.
With the establishment of the two bodies, the existing Malaysian Dental Council (MDC), established under the Dental Act 1971, will be dissolved.
Deputy Health Minister Dr Hilmi Yahaya, who tabled the bill, said it would be presented for the second and third readings in the current sitting of Parliament.
