Overview
- Police say they responded on Feb. 16 to Pediatric Dentistry of Sherman, observed signs of intoxication, conducted field sobriety testing, and arrested 36-year-old Kelly Buck on a state jail felony under the Texas Occupations Code.
- Investigators obtained a search warrant for a blood specimen; results have not yet been returned and remain central to the case.
- A search-warrant affidavit says Buck was performing a filling and crowning on an 8-year-old when a registered assistant stopped the procedure and the child’s parent contacted police.
- Buck was working as a temporary contractor arranged through Cloud Dentistry; the company says the user had passed a background check and is now suspended pending review.
- Buck’s attorney denies intoxication, says lab results will clear her, and confirms she has bonded out; state records show she has been licensed since 2016 with a minimal sedation endorsement and no disciplinary history.
