Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been convicted for illegally administering teeth whitening processes in the past three years.

The number of people convicted for offences under s41 of the Dentistry Act 1984 (“Unregistered person carrying on the business of dentistry”) over the last 3 years was 2; 1 in each of 2016 and 2017. It is not possible to identify whether these offences were specific to teeth whitening in centrally held data on court proceedings.
