You have to be careful that everything you publish on your website is true, especially when your intent is to expose someone. If it is true and you have proof to back it up, then you have a very strong position in court. But anybody can sue you for any reason, and you are finding that out.
I'd hire a good lawyer. You need to defend yourself.
Just glancing at your post above, you say that the dentist "owns" a certain piece of equipment. The word "own" has a very specific legal definition. I doubt you actually know whether he owns it or not. Perhaps you should have said the dentist "has" a piece of equipment. Or "boasts" a piece of equipment. Or that he "uses" that piece of equipment. This is just an example. If the dentist doesn't own the machine but rents it, then a lie on your website has been exposed. Can you prove that every statement you made on your website is 100% factual?
You attacked this dentist's livelihood. He may deserve it, but don't be surprised when he fights back.
Get a lawyer.
edit: (you also say you realize the statute of limitations has run out for a counter suit. Are you sure? the statute of limitations varies from state to state. For example, I believe in the District of Columbia it is 3 years but in Virginia it is 7.)
