Walk-Ins

The Board of Dentistry does not currently take walk-ins. You may leave correspondence or packages with the receptionist on the first floor at Randolph Square. Board meetings have in person attendance available. The Conference room is on the 1st floor near the reception desk. If you have a meeting scheduled with Board staff, please check in with reception and a staff member will meet you in the lobby and escort you to a conference room or meeting room on the lower level.

Be Cautious and Aware of Scam Artists Posing as Staff and/or Law Enforcement Agents

Scam callers have the ability to program caller ID to show as the MN Board of Dentistry along with the Board's legitimate phone number. Board staff will NOT contact you by telephone indicating you are the subject of a complaint or investigation; your license has been suspended; or demand money or personal information such as social security numbers, birth dates or prescribing numbers.

If you believe a caller could be the Board but are unsure, please take a name, hang up, and call the Board yourself. Do not use alternative phone numbers given by the caller in question. Legitimate Board staff will gladly provide a name and allow you to call back. Call the Board of Dentistry at 612-617-2250 and choose "0".
