What happens in the event of the death of a dentist before his practice is sold?
The Board will allow a reasonable period of time for the family to sell the practice, but no one other than a licensed dentist may continue to operate the practice in the interim or receive profits from it. The practice may NOT be controlled or managed by the family, nor may a dentist be hired to continue operating the practice until it is sold unless the dentist takes control of the entire practice and its profits. The office space and equipment may be leased for a pre-established fee.
