Q. I have a hairdressing salon. A friend is investing in laser teeth whitening products including a laser machine. my friend is not a dentist and is thinking of having someone who is n ot trained in any form of dentistry to do the treatments. My friend is asking me to rent some space for his little business. I do not feel comfortable about this and am concerned with public liability issues. I beleive it is illegal for someone not trained in the dentistry field to administer teeth whitening by laser.

A. you are correct the general dental council has been prosecuting similar cases. their website gives details. Rob
