| SmileDirectClub Dentist Acted with Gross Negligence, Say California Regulators |
|
SmileDirectClub dentist Jeffrey A. Sulitzer may lose his license after an investigation into his tele-dentistry firm. SmileDirectClub offers orthodontic treatment to customers without a visit to an orthodontist's office. Sulitzer is accused, after a two-year state dental board investigation, of violating state law, defrauding state dental regulators, and acting with gross negligence toward patients while helping SmileDirectClub grow its business. Further, the state accuses Sulitzer of "aiding and abetting" the company in the unlicensed practice of dentistry.
