Past Sanctions Haunt Dentist Targeted in Recent Disciplinary Investigation
Everyone makes mistakes, and anyone can make a mistake at work, regardless of occupation. For dentists and other licensed healthcare professionals, an error or misjudgment can lead to disciplinary investigations, hearings, and sanctions. Once a dentist is disciplined by their state licensing board, it can be almost impossible to escape the shadow of previous misconduct. Even after decades, sanctioned dentists and other medical professionals know that their past problems have a way of resurfacing.
At the LLF National Law Firm, we defend dentists who are accused of professional misconduct. Any time a dentist faces a license disciplinary investigation or hearing, they risk receiving a sanction that can undermine their reputation and practice now and in the future. Because disciplinary sanctions can have far-reaching, adverse consequences, any dentist accused of misconduct should challenge the allegations made against them.
If you are the target of a professional license investigation or hearing, we can help. Let our experienced attorneys develop a comprehensive defense strategy to protect you and your best interests.

Even After 30 Years, Old Disciplinary Sanctions Resurface
It is reported that the Iowa Dental Board recently charged and sanctioned a Dubuque dentist for failing to provide adequate infection control in his practice.
Details of the dentist’s past license discipline problems, from more than three decades ago, are again garnering media attention. According to the Iowa Capital Dispatch, the dentist was sanctioned over 30 years ago for multiple regulatory violations, including using and selling cocaine, diverting or distributing cocaine through his dental practice, habitual intoxication or addiction to the use of drugs, and failure to maintain a reasonable standard of competency.
For licensed medical professionals, it is crucial that any misconduct allegation be taken seriously and challenged diligently. Professional licensing authorities keep meticulous records. Misconduct allegations and disciplinary sanctions do not disappear over time. Any dentist who believes they may be the target of a license disciplinary investigation should take immediate steps to defend themselves and their license.
