How Oregon Dentist license verification works

A Dentist in Oregon is licensed by the OR Dental Board. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: status expires license_type specialty permits malpractice licenses education.

Board note: Board's own licensing app (same vendor as NV-DENTAL); JSON API ws.oregondentistry.org answers without the page's reCAPTCHA token. Dental License=dds, Hygiene License=rdh; Faculty/Volunteer/Dental Therapy are other types. No dental assistants.

What a Dentist license check returns

Field check	Passes when
`license_number`	Equal to the board's number, ignoring prefix and leading zeros
`name`	Last name or declared alias matches; first name exact or nickname
`license_type`	The record is a Dentist license, strictly (no near-miss types)
`status`	The board shows an active status; probation is active with a flag
`expires`	Expiration is on or after today, where the board publishes it
`disciplinary_actions`	Recorded 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 Oregon 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.
