Police probe 'unregistered dentist' allegation in Aberdeen
Published: 24th May 2012 11:17:24
Police are investigating allegations of an unregistered dentist working at an Aberdeen dental practice.
The Grampian Police inquiry is ongoing at the Bridge of Don Dental Clinic and Research Centre in Silverburn Crescent.
The clinic was in the news on Tuesday when it was announced hundreds of patients were being contacted due to infection control procedures.
NHS Grampian has written to more than 900 patients. The letter said that the risk of infection was low.
An inspection in March found that infection control procedures - including instrument decontamination - did not meet national standards.
Clinic owner Dr Ronnie Barogiannis said at the time: "We have invested £400,000 of our own money to get the clinic up and running and fitted out and we believe it to be one of the best equipped in Aberdeen.
"We hope that in time we can show we are providing the highest of dental standards."
