A South Dakota dentist who sold his practice at the request of the state dental board and two other dentists made headlines last week:
- Arpana Verma, DDS, president of the Maryland State Board of Dental Examiners, spoke with Maryland Matters about the board's staffing shortage that has led to delays in investigations.
- Cale Slack, DDS, was asked to give up his practice by the South Dakota Board of Dentistry after five domestic assault charges were filed against him.
- Yaara Berdan, DDS, an assistant professor at the University of Southern California Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, conducted a study exploring how sustainability in the dental industry could be improved without compromising safety and quality.
