CHECK OUT ... Can You Trust Your Dentist? Tuesday, Five, 8pm
........ DONAL MCINTYRE DIGS DEEP to fill us in on the hazards of opening wide and trusting your luck when being probed by Mr Molar. Programmes such as this need to come with the caution that what you witness doesn’t apply to the majority of practitioners, but it nevertheless raises questions about the regulatory practices of the General Dental Council (GDC). When confronted with instances of serious malpractice (sexual misconduct, negligence, a breach of health and safety that resulted in a five-year-old patient dying), the council resisted striking the culprits off for life. Private patients don’t even have the meagre protection the GDC offers. No regulation of private dentistry exists. You have been warned.
