Council Issues Warning Over Illegal Tooth Whitening
Belfast City Council has issued a warning to the public over the dangers of having their teeth whitened by firms not registered with the General Dental Council (GMC).
Recently, environmental health staff saw an increase in the number of businesses offering the service.
A council spokesperson said: "While cosmetic piercing businesses must be registered with Belfast City Council, any business which offers tooth whitening without being registered with the GDC is breaking the law.
"If the council becomes aware of an individual or business offering this service illegally, we must inform the GDC which may bring legal proceedings."
A letter has been sent to businesses across the city to remind them of the law governing tooth whitening, and to offer advice and information.
