Scammers are currently targeting dentists and dental offices in Kentucky. Typically, someone pretending to be an investigator for the Board of Dentistry will claim that the target’s dental license or DEA number has been involved in illegal activity and will attempt to obtain sensitive information. The Board’s name and phone number may even appear on the Caller ID.​

KBD staff will never contact you in this manner with demands for personal or financial details. Do not respond to requests for social security numbers or to send money. Payments to the Board can only be made on our website or by mailing payment directly to our office, never by providing financial information on the phone or in an email. If contacting our office to confirm any suspicious communications you receive, use only the contact information listed on our website. You can also verify your license status on our search page. 

If you receive a scam call or email, please report it to the Kentucky Office of the Attorney General via their online Scam Complaint Form. ​​
