Authority and scope
What the Board says it reviews
Complaints focused on the license of an individual dentist, dental hygienist, or dental assistant. The Practitioner Review Committee directs investigations and may use corrective or disciplinary action.
How the official source says to file
- Request a complaint-form link or mailed form from den.practitioner.review.hlb@state.mn.us
- Include the first and last name of the licensed professional
- Board phone published on the current complaint page: 612-617-2250
What this route may not provide
The Board says it cannot help when the only goal is a monetary refund and generally does not accept complaints against unlicensed office personnel unless unlicensed practice is involved.
Do not guess about confidentiality
The complaint page does not publish a general anonymity promise. Ask the Board directly before filing if confidentiality or identification is a concern.
Minnesota Dental Board: no single deadline published
The Board's public complaint page does not give one deadline that applies to every complaint. File promptly and ask the Board which rule applies. Filing with the Board does not stop the deadline for a lawsuit.
What may happen after filing
The Board says its Practitioner Review Committee reviews and directs investigations and may attempt education, conference, corrective action, or public discipline depending on the findings and law.
Prepare a reviewable submission
