On February 15, 2012, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) agreed to
stay enforcement of its finding that North Carolina State Board of
Dental Examiners' (NCSBDE) efforts to block non-dentists from
providing tooth whitening service violate antitrust laws. This stay was
granted to allow the NCSBDE to have its case heard by the appellate
court. The NCSBDE maintains that providing the tooth whitening procedure
without a dental license is practicing dentistry without a license. by Joanne Wineinger, RDA, Ninth District Trustee Joanne Wineinger, RDA, is the Ninth District Trustee for ADAA.
