How Mississippi Dentist license verification works

A Dentist in Mississippi is licensed by the MS Dental Board. When this board is live, PrimaryCheck will query it directly for status, expiration and disciplinary actions and attach the board's record as evidence. Until then the API answers honestly with unable_to_verify and the reason, and the coverage endpoint reports this row as blocked.

What a Dentist license check returns

Field checkPasses when
license_numberEqual to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros
nameLast name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
license_typeThe record is a Dentist license, strictly (no near-miss types)
statusThe board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
expiresExpiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it
disciplinary_actionsRecorded and flagged with any order documents; never silently dropped

Verdicts: verified, discrepancy, not_found, unable_to_verify (with a reason), pending. See how verdicts are decided.

Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact and multistate Dentist licenses

Dentist licenses can carry a multistate privilege under the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact. When the Mississippi record shows a multistate license, the result includes multistate: true and the privilege states. Privilege status is confirmed at the compact's own lookup, never inferred.
