I live in Missouri.

How do I check the malpractice/lawsuit history of a practicing dentist?

I located a Dentist Background Check Service where you pay a fee of
$9.95 to find dental license and license related actions, including
disciplinary actions, sanctions, consent orders, consent agreements,
dismissals, non-disciplinary communications, advisory letters and
other licensing information.

Would a link to this service interest you?

Thanks,

Yes, I believe that information is what I'm looking for.  I found a
site that checked the records for doctors, but  the dentist in
question was not listed.

Thanks.

What was the name of the website that you located. I don't want to
give you the same information that you have already found.

Thanks,

Dear  nana_m,

The website that I mentioned previously is knowx.com
http://www.knowx.com/dentist/search.jsp

Since I can't guarantee that your dentist will be listed at knowx, I
suggest that you enter his name in the search box. Please let me know
if it works out for you and I will post this site as the answer to
your question.

If your dentist is not listed at knowx, post a clarification and I
will see what else is available.

Thanks,
Bobbie7

I tried your knowx.com site but there were no matches for the dentist
in question.  Thanks for trying.

1) Visit the courthouse in the county the dentist practices and punch
his name into the public-access computer.

2) Go to http://pr.mo.gov/licensee-search.asp and check the status of
his professional license.

The website was ChoiceTrust.com
