Professional Licensing for the SC Board of dentistry

South Carolina dental professionals facing issues with professional licensing for the SC Board of Dentistry should seek protection from an experienced attorney.

If you are a dentist or other dental professional facing licensing issues before the South Carolina Board of Dentistry, it’s important to understand the procedures involved and know how to protect your professional license. Here’s a guide to help you navigate this process:

Understanding the Process

Notification of Complaint

The Board will notify you of any complaint or concern brought to their attention. This complaint could come from a patient, co-worker, employer, or any other person who wishes to make a complaint.

Contacting an attorney at this stage is the most prudent course of action. A complaint does not necessarily affect your ability to practice.

Investigation

The Board will conduct an investigation, which may involve reviewing patient records, interviewing staff and witnesses, and consulting with dental experts.

Your attorney must engage in a similar investigation.

Resolution

Some issues may be resolved informally through negotiation or mediation without proceeding to a formal hearing. Should a formal hearing be necessary, the Board will consider your position and why you believe a particular resolution is appropriate. Some potential resolutions are dismissal of the complaint, public or private reprimand, fines, penalties, suspension, and revocation.

Your attorney helps you plan and present your position to help achieve the resolution you are seeking.
