If MDDS posts your legal notification, as soon as September 14, 2026, you may begin destroying inactive adult patient records that are dated prior to September 1, 2019. Pediatric patient records must be retained for 7 years after the patient’s 18th birthday.
PLEASE NOTE: In accordance with Colorado recycling laws, X-rays MUST be separated from charts in order to be shredded. We will also have on-site X-ray recycling. Any boxes not separated will NOT be accepted.
MDDS does not give advice as to which records may be destroyed. Each individual dentist and dental practice must make that determination. A copy of the Colorado regulation relating to Patient Records Retention (3CCR 709-1) is posted at mddsdentist.com. If you have questions, please consult legal counsel.
Registration deadline is July 17, 2026. No refunds or cancellations after this date
