Consumers have a right to know if our dentist has a history of harming patients, repeats gross negligence, is insured or committed infractions of the law. Before we agree to sign an Informed Consent Agreement with any licensed dentist, the licensing and protective agencies owe consumers accurate information about the licensing status of its licensee being disciplined, especially if the dentist's license is issued but conditional and restricted.
