Facing the RCDSO? We are here to help

As a dentist, your reputation and professional license are essential to your ability to practice. Complaints, investigations, or disciplinary action from the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO) can place your entire career at risk. At Tamir Litigation, we provide skilled, strategic legal defence for dentists across Ontario facing regulatory scrutiny or professional discipline.

We understand the pressures that come with running a dental practice, managing patient expectations, and complying with complex regulatory obligations. When your conduct, care, or practice comes under review, having experienced legal counsel is critical.

We Represent Dentists in Matters Including:

  • RCDSO complaints and investigations
  • Allegations of professional misconduct or incompetence
  • Fitness-to-practice and health-related concerns
  • Discipline hearings and appeals
  • Reinstatement of revoked license


Why Choose Tamir Litigation:

  • Extensive experience in professional regulation and health law

A complaint or investigation does not have to define your career. The earlier you involve legal counsel, the more options you have to protect your practice and your name.

In RCDSO v. Kwong (2025 ONRCDSO 1), a Scarborough dentist was suspended for five months after admitting he falsified records by backdating patient treatment dates to maximize year-end insurance benefits. The RCDSO panel found this conduct amounted to multiple acts of professional misconduct, including falsification, false reporting, and unethical behaviour. The penalty included suspension, ethics and billing courses, 24 months of practice monitoring, and a ban on employing his spouse. The case underscores that even “helping” patients use expiring benefits is still considered falsification.
Reinstatement after a licence revocation for fraud is a legal catch-22. The Tribunal requires proof of insight and remediation, often by accepting past findings, but such admissions can be used in criminal prosecution. In Fagbemigun v. CPSO (2024 ONPSDT 30), the physician denied intentional fraud, proposed operational changes, and was denied reinstatement. This case highlights why fraud-related professional discipline matters require coordinated regulatory and criminal defence strategy to protect both your licence and your legal position.
Chris Martin and The Weeknd as lawyers would bring wildly different styles. Chris would approach trials like a mindfulness retreat, i.e., optimistic, heartfelt, quoting Rumi, handing out glow bracelets is better suited for pre-trial warmth than courtroom battles. The Weeknd, in contrast, would dominate trials with intensity, presence, and precision, blending silence and fire for maximum impact. Where Chris seeks harmony, Abel seeks emotional immersion. For calm collaboration, choose Chris , but if you are looking for searing advocacy that wins, choose Abel. Just bring water, because it’s going to get hot.

 Don’t wait for it to get worse.
