Dentist is struck off over risking patients
A DENTIST has been struck off after being failing to spot a disease in a man and mistreating a young girl.
David Naisby has been erased from the General Dental Council’s (GDC) register after a misconduct hearing earlier this month.
The dentist faced a number of charges relating to his work in the village of Culbokie in the Black Isle, Ross and Cromarty, between January 28, 2005, and April 16, 2014.
Naisby failed to carry out proper planning while treating a child and also failed to obtain consent before carrying out ozone treatment and did not keep proper records of treatment.
As a result, the girl required “extensive treatment”, including fillings and extractions.
He was also found to have committed a number of failings when treating an adult between 2005 and 2013.
The man complained after a subsequent dentist found a number of problems, including chronic periodontal disease which should have been identified and treated by Mr Naisby.
Mr Naisby did not attend the hearing despite various attempts to contact him, including a letter sent to an address in Mexico.
The GDC panel said: “Mr Naisby’s conduct in failing to obtain and update medical history, prescribing antibiotics without justification and failing to take radiographs that were clinically indicated were all matters that placed the patients at serious risk of harm.” A CHARITY made almost £400 after it discovered a letter signed by Queen Victoria in a box of items donated to the shop.
The official document, dated 1860, marked the appointment of William Jacob as an Ensign in the Honourable Artillery Company.
It was counter-signed by Sidney Herbert, the then Secretary of State for War and the man responsible for sending Florence Nightingale out to the Crimean War.
But when the letter, which was inside a box full of bric-abrac, was donated to Julia’s House, the Dorset and Wiltshire children’s hospice, it was almost thrown away.
A volunteer who was sorting donations at the store in Creekmoor, Dorset, saw it.
Graham Crabb, who is responsible for pricing unusual items, sent the letter away to be authenticated before putting it on eBay, where it sold for £395.”
