Which of the following is NOT a valid reason for the Board of Dentistry to suspend a license?

To ensure the licensee does not violate statutes again
The Board must generate revenue each year
To ensure the licensee does not benefit financially from the violation
All of the above are reasons for suspension

The correct answer is: The Board must generate revenue each year

The correct choice highlights that generating revenue for the Board of Dentistry is not a valid reason for license suspension. This reflects the ethical standards and responsibilities that governing bodies uphold. The primary focus of disciplinary actions, such as license suspension, is to protect public safety, maintain professional standards, and ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Suspending a license serves legitimate purposes such as preventing ongoing violations and ensuring that licensees do not gain financially from misconduct. These considerations prioritize the health and safety of the public over financial motivations for the Board itself. As such, any action taken against a licensee must hinge on matters of conduct, ethics, and the implications of their actions rather than any financial requirements or goals of the Board.
