Dentist Busted: DEA Yanks License for Sketchy Drug Forms
Published Date: 2/14/2025
Notice
Summary
Dr. Robert L. Carter, a dentist from Delaware, lost his DEA license because he lied on his renewal forms and didn’t meet public safety standards. His new application to work in New Jersey was also denied, mainly because he lacks the proper state permission and has a history of falsifying documents. This means he can’t legally handle controlled substances in either state, affecting his dental practice and career starting now.

Dentist's DEA Registration Revoked
The DEA revoked Robert L. Carter's Certificate of Registration No. BC5574048 and denied his application No. W20128194C and any other pending application for registration in Delaware or New Jersey. The Order is effective March 17, 2025, and means Dr. Carter cannot legally hold a DEA registration to handle, prescribe, or dispense controlled substances in Delaware or New Jersey.
Falsified Applications and Unlawful Prescribing
The DEA found Dr. Carter materially falsified multiple DEA renewal applications (including false answers on renewals dated 2009, 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2021) and issued eight controlled-substance prescriptions on New Jersey prescription pads between June 19, 2019 and November 28, 2020 while his DEA registration was registered to Delaware. Those findings under 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(1) and 824(a)(4)/823(g) supported revocation and denial.
