GDC investigates York dentist following claims made by whistleblower

However, The York Press has reported that the dentist in question, Jenefar Kabir, has rejected the allegations against her, describing them as 'vindictive'.

The claims made by the whistleblower include the use of rusted and blunt burrs at the dentist’s private practice, Fresh Dental Smile Clinic & Implant Center, along with poor disinfection and infection control procedures, and that she told her staff not to give patients comprehensive treatment plans.

The publication also notes that the GDC “has also received an allegation that Kabir took over a dental extraction from another dental practitioner and when that practitioner urged her not to use a high speed drill, according to the practitioner, her response was ‘using the high-speed tool increases patient’s immunity’ and that surgical emphysema was not worth worrying about and that to get to her position she had to ‘take some risks’”.
