Following questions from The Denver Post, the University of Colorado's dental school has ordered five of its dentists to stop seeing patients until they receive active or academic dental licenses.
An exception to state law allowed dentists without an active Colorado license to practice at the University of Colorado Denver, but that exception was removed Aug. 5.
Until recently, the school also allowed dental students to procure sedation drugs and write prescriptions using the federal credentials of faculty members who had not seen the patient. Federal law requires doctors to have doctor-patient relationships with people for whom they write prescriptions.
School officials changed their policies this month following questions from The Post.
