The Dental family
DORA groups its licence types into 40 families. This one holds 16,225 active licences across 14 types.
589 of the 16,225 active licences in the Dental family carry a disciplinary action in DORA's file — 3.6%.
This site publishes that count and no more: never who, and never a case number. DORA records the type of action and no reason at all, and the two most common entries statewide are a stipulation and a letter of admonition — agreed outcomes. Every licence counted here is active. Why that line is drawn there.
