THE Malaysian Dental Association (MDA) is deeply concerned about the ongoing illegal dental practices in this country. Although much awareness has been created in the past and even recently, these illegal services are just too attractive for the public to resist. If not curbed, these newly-minted beauticians will eventually dupe and “treat” the unsuspecting public, providing fake veneers, fake braces and illegal whitening procedures. We are aware of outlets that offer do-it-yourself whitening services at malls, using bleaching chemicals or home-delivered teeth whitening kits. This is important so that the whole nation can receive high quality and safe dental treatment.
