Cosmetic Surgery Review

Following on from the PIP breast impact scandal last year, teeth whitening, botox and dermal fillers are set to be included in a review of cosmetic surgery.
The British Dental Association and the General Dental Council will submit evidence to The Department of Health as part of its consultation into the cosmetic surgery industry. It will examine whether the right amount of regulation is in place, if patients have the right amount of information before opting for surgery and how to make sure patients get the right aftercare.
Contained in the consultation document are specific references to teeth whitening and botox but the definition of cosmetic interventions could include other dental treatments such as dental implants.
Flame Health will follow this review.
