Five states have recently disciplined dentists for violations related to patient care, infection control and more.
Five updates:
1. The Alaska Supreme Court upheld the state's decision to revoke the license of a dentist who extracted a tooth while riding a hoverboard.
2. The Washington Dental Quality Assurance Commission indefinitely suspended the license of Sandy Montano, DDS. Dr. Montano violated multiple sanitation and infection control requirements in November 2021.
3. A judge sided with the decision of the North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners to revoke the license of a dentist with an "extensive disciplinary history."
4. William Do, DDS, a dentist in Tracy, Calif., had his license revoked following infection control violations.
5. The Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners revoked the license of Thomas Endicott, DDS, following a multiyear investigation.
