You can contact your dentist's office and request a copy of your records, or you can go in person to request them. Your new dentist can also request a copy of them, but you will need to sign a release form giving your former dentist permission to release the records to your new dentist. If that's the way you go, your new dentist will have you sign the release forms, then they will send it to the former dentist for you.

A retired dentist. Just because they retire doesn't mean they lose their accreditation. Those are professional boards that certify you meet their requirements. You've met the requirement.

Lastly, why would the patient have an accreditation unless they're a dentist themselves?
