Donal MacIntyre examines a frightening range of scandals in the dental profession, meeting patients who have undergone an assortment of unnecessary procedures, often at the hands of doctors who had already been struck off.

Donal also investigates claims that unlicensed foreign dentists are being recruited to cover the country's shortage and the cases of dentists who have concealed murky pasts - including kidnapping, child pornography and sexual assault.
