What each status means
- Active
- The license is current and in good standing. This is what you want to see before you sit in the chair.
- Expired or inactive
- The license has lapsed or was placed on inactive status. The dentist cannot practice on it until it is renewed or reactivated.
- Suspended or revoked
- The dental board has taken disciplinary action. The dentist is not authorized to practice, and the action is on the public record.
Verifying a Connecticut dentist
- Licensing authority
- Dentists and dental hygienists in Connecticut are licensed by the Department of Public Health through the Connecticut Dental Commission.
- Credential number
- A Connecticut credential number from the state's eLicense system. Connecticut files a dentist under credential type 2 and a dental hygienist under type 13, so you choose the credential before entering the number.
- Renewal
- A Connecticut dental credential shows its issue and expiration dates in the eLicense record, which reads ACTIVE while the license is current.
- Disciplinary history
- Public. Connecticut's eLicense system shows the status together with a reason, and it can read ACTIVE with the reason SUSPENDED - MAY NOT PRACTICE, so a license that looks active can still be one the state has acted against; revoked and surrendered credentials show there too.
Common questions
How do I know a Connecticut dentist is really licensed?
Find them by credential number on the Connecticut Department of Public Health, Dental Commission's record with an active status. A dentist who cannot be found on the state's record is not licensed in Connecticut, whatever a website says.
What does an expired or inactive license mean?
The license is on file but not current, so the dentist cannot practice on it until it is renewed or reactivated. The record shows the expiration date.
Can I see if a Connecticut dentist has been disciplined?
Public. Connecticut's eLicense system shows the status together with a reason, and it can read ACTIVE with the reason SUSPENDED - MAY NOT PRACTICE, so a license that looks active can still be one the state has acted against; revoked and surrendered credentials show there too.
