Beware the many faces of illegal dentistry


THE Malaysian Dental Association (MDA) is deeply concerned about the ongoing illegal dental practices in this country. Some have even blamed the association or authorities for not taking steps to counter this serious matter.

The issue is more than the roadside tooth pullers or sidewalk instant dentures that we know of in the past. At one point, we were shocked by the number of news reports on fake dentists, some of whom were successfully prosecuted in court.
