Peer Review Committee – Mediation

The Peer Review Committee reviews disputes between dentist and patients, and cases involving a third party, such as an insurance company. The Committee evaluates matters related to the quality of treatment performed, appropriateness of care and acts in an advisory capacity regarding fees. The committee is equally responsible to patients, dentists and insurance carriers.   

State Board Rule 108.3 relating to consumer information, requires all practicing Texas dentists to display signage notifying patients that complaints concerning dental services can be directed to the State Board. The signage is available on the State Board website: www.tsbde.texas.gov/.

The TDA Peer Review Council has developed its own complaint sign to be posted in the same vicinity as the sign from the TSBDE. The posting of the Peer Review signage is completely voluntary.
