Ethical Missteps: How to Avoid ‘Stepping in It’

Previously Recorded, Self Study


Drs. Carocci and Rumfola will draw upon their experience on the local level as well as the state level with the Council on Ethics. Rather than discussing hypothetical ethical dilemmas, they will cite actual cases that they themselves investigated and resolved. In addition, they will present other interesting cases and situations that were addressed in Hearings or discussed amongst representatives of other districts in New York State.


Learning Objectives:

  • Have a clearer understanding of appropriate advertising in dentistry
  • Know what is acceptable in terms of in-office promotional activity
  • As members of organized dentistry / non-members of organized dentistry, know how to proceed when faced with ethical dilemmas --- in your own practice as well as the actions of colleagues
  • How to avoid common missteps that could land you with a visit with the Office of Professional Discipline


Intended Audience:

Dentists, specialists, hygienists, dental assistants, front office staff
