The DH recently received a complaint regarding several government Dental Officers working at a private dental clinic. The DH's preliminary investigation revealed that a private dental online platform listed a dental clinic located in Mong Kok, where there are over 340 practicing dentists, including information on more than 200 serving full-time government Dental Officers.
The DH clarified that no currently serving full-time government Dental Officers are engaged in outside work at private dental clinics. The DH reiterated that all the practice information of the listed full-time government Dental Officers on the online platform is entirely false and mispresented. The DH has reported the incident to the Police.
The DH appeals to members of the public to verify the names, professional qualifications and practice addresses of registered dentists through the List of Registered Dentists published online by the Dental Council of Hong Kong. To ensure safety, they should not trust unverified information on the Internet.
