2. 2. Using advertising which is false or misleading;
3. 3. Claiming or inferring professional superiority over neighboring practitioners;
4. 4. Using fraud or misrepresentation to secure a license;
5. 5. Practicing under a name, other than a lawfully assumed or fictitious name, that is false or misleading;
6. 6. Submitting a false or fraudulent claim for payment to an insurer for dental services rendered; or
7. 7. Failing repeatedly to advise an insurer that the dentist has forgiven the patient’s share of the payment to the dentist under a policy of insurance.
