Cheryl Laing, a dental assistant, and Jessica Gullickson, a receptionist, both employed at a Main Line dental practice in the Norristown, Pennsylvania area, were sentenced to jail after performing illegal after-hours dental procedures on patients without a licence to practise dentistry. The case illustrates that risk in a dental practice extends beyond financial embezzlement to include the unauthorized practice of dentistry by staff — an exposure that places patients at direct physical risk and creates severe professional and legal liability for the practice owner.
