Gathering groundswell | British Dental Journal


Play all audios:

Sir, I was sadly delighted to read Martin Kelleher's letter in the latest _BDJ_ (212: 365–367). At last there would appear to be a gathering groundswell of opinion regarding this


terrible 'modern' trend for healthy tooth destruction to create so called cosmetic improvement. I speak with two hats. The first, as a practising dentist for 42 years, watching


this greedy dental profiteering at the expense of our often gullible and innocent patients. Secondly, as a full time specialist endodontist, experiencing at first hand the catastrophic


pulpal results of all this devastating dentine removal. Hopefully Martin's letter and 'campaign' will enable this iniquitous practice to gain some professional proportion. 1.
