How do you report a dentist?

[Anonymous]

So, I went to the dentist and lets just say I'm afraid I contracted some weird disease in my mouth (not really, but it was gross). Their hygeine practices were non-existant and I really want to report them for an investigation. But, I have no idea who to call! It was in Maryland, FWIW.

COuld you share what you contracted or describe it? THere should be the equivalent of a dental board in each state.

Who do you call? Can you share the number?

Lord!

It wasn't like that Seinfeld episode where he was drugged and the dentist was off doing the nasty with his nurse, right?

ugh

Anyway, to answer your question, isn't this the route to take?

or - if you mean business
The Peer Review committee is NOT a disciplinary body. If you feel your complaint merits disciplinary action, you may call the Maryland State Board of Dental Examiners to file a formal complaint against the dentist at [phone].
