Arizona dentist has license revoked following multiyear investigation

The Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners revoked the license of Thomas Endicott, DDS, according to an April 19 report by ABC15 Arizona.

The board launched an investigation in Dr. Endicott in 2022 after a patient died in his chair. At a license hearing in March, Arizona Assistant Attorney General Seamus Monaghan said Dr. Endicott failed to consult with the patient's cardiologist before performing dental surgery, failed to immediately call 911, failed to put oxygen on the patient, left the patient to attend to other patients and failed to provide records about the incident when requested by the Arizona Dental Board.

While Dr. Endicott's Arizona license was suspended, he was freely practicing dentistry in Utah as recently as February, when the Utah Division of Professional Licensing revoked his license following unprofessional conduct.

Dr. Endicott did not report the suspension of his Arizona license to the Utah licensing division. 

The Arizona dental board voted unanimously to revoke Dr. Endicott's license. 

Dr. Endicott has the option to appeal the board's decision, the report said.
