OLYMPIA - State health officials suspended the license of Kitsap County denturist Harvey I. Cu (DN60464161) pending further legal action.

Charges allege that Cu's denture clinic contained numerous safety hazards, including an absence of proper barrier and sterilization techniques required for infection control, and the absence of necessary dental equipment. Cu was also residing in the downstairs area of his Bremerton clinic, which was cluttered and unsanitary.

The suspension prohibits Cu from practicing as a denturist in Washington to protect patient safety and public health. Cu has 20 days to request a hearing to contest the charges.
