After receiving a complaint, how long does the Minnesota Board of Dentistry have to resolve or dismiss it?

The Minnesota Board of Dentistry is mandated to resolve or dismiss a complaint within one year of its receipt. This timeframe ensures that the board can conduct a thorough and fair investigation, while also providing timely responses to both the complainant and the dentist involved. Maintaining this timeline is crucial for upholding the integrity of the dental profession and ensuring that issues are addressed promptly, ultimately protecting public safety and trust in dental practices.

The other options do not align with the statutory requirements established by the Minnesota Board of Dentistry, which emphasizes the importance of a one-year period for the resolution or dismissal of complaints.
