In some instances, yes they can. Did you sign anything at the dental office with your wife? If so, you may have signed something stating that you would pay if she could not. If that is the case, you can be held liable for the debt. If the dental company sues, they could win a judgment to garnish your wages. If you are not listed on the debt, you are not legally liable and cannot be sued or have you wages garnished.
