Louisiana State Board of Dentistry

"The board is very responsive to patient concerns and is very efficient in processing licensing, renewals and continuing education fulfillment. The staff is very friendly and provides answers and assistance in a professional and timely manner. In comparison to other states’ boards, they are very personal and you will always get a person on the phone not an automated messages with a long list of prompts to get to a voicemail."

"When I sent a complaint to the Louisiana Board of Dentistry of a dentist in my area who I saw to be re-using the tools in his customer's mouths and got me sick sick as a dog for 3 days, they sent a letter back to me stating that this is not a violation of any of their policies. I believe that major reason that we are in the midst of a pandemic is the lack of regulation within the healthcare community, and lack of understanding of microbiology and enforcement of aseptic technique."

"They are spineless. We have all these dentists running around the state measuring people's gums, claiming patients need a deep cleaning, root canals, crowns, all kinds of unnecessary procedures and they do nothing about it. Nothing."
