Any person licensed under this section may apply to the board for a return to active licensure status by filing an application in the form and manner the board designates, paying the appropriate license fee established pursuant to section 12-20-105, and meeting the financial responsibility requirements or the professional liability insurance requirements established by the board pursuant to sections 12-220-307 and 13-64-301 (1)(a), as applicable. The board may approve the application and issue a license to practice dentistry, dental therapy, or dental hygiene or may deny the application if the licensee has been disciplined for any of the causes set forth in section 12-220-201.

(6)

A dentist, dental therapist, or dental hygienist on retired status may provide dental, dental therapy, or dental hygiene services on a voluntary basis to people who are indigent if the retired dentist, dental therapist, or dental hygienist provides the services on a limited basis and does not charge a fee for the services. A retired dentist, dental therapist, or dental hygienist providing voluntary care pursuant to this subsection (6) is immune from any liability resulting from the voluntary care the retired dentist, dental therapist, or dental hygienist provided.
