SmileDirectClub LLC filed a lawsuit last week in federal court that alleges the Dental Board of California conspired to hurt the company’s business. The lawsuit came several days after Gov. Newsom signed AB 1519, which establishes fundamental consumer protections for patients who receive dental treatment via telehealth. The plaintiffs claim that dentists serving on the dental board have undertaken “an aggressive, anti-competitive campaign” against SmileDirectClub, its affiliated dental practices and its direct-to-consumer business model.
