Dental Board

We defend California dentists in license law matters before the Dental Board of California.  We have over 20 years of administrative law and license defense experience, and we handle:

• Dental Board Investigations
• License Denials / Statement of Issues
• Accusations
• Administrative Hearings
• Petitions for Writ of Mandate (Mandamus)
• Appeals
• Petitions for Reinstatement

Unlike the majority of health care professionals in California, dentists have the benefit of a three-year Statute of Limitations. (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 1670.2.)  This statute of limitations should be considered in cases with Accusations alleging practice-related conduct.  Dentists who have drug or alcohol problems may avoid disciplinary action by entering the Dental Board's Diversion Program.

If you hear from the Dental Board or an investigator with the Department of Consumer Affairs, Division of Investigation, or you receive an Accusation by mail, contact us as soon as possible to speak with a California administrative law attorney who has expertise in Dental Board cases.
