A dental nurse has been struck off for offering tooth whitening treatments using chemicals 300 times stronger than the legal limit.
Vivien Hassett was found to pose a “risk of harm to patients” and has now been removed from the General Dental Council’s register following a probe by their Professional Conduct Committee.
It found that she offered treatments using hydrogen peroxide with a strength of up to 35%. The legal limit is less than 0.1%.
