Illegal teeth whitening is being carried out in Paphos

Illegal teeth whitening is being carried out in Paphos

The Pan-Cyprus Dental Association has filed a complaint with the Cyprus Police about illegal dental practices in Paphos. The service is provided by a beauty salon. The police began an investigation.

Association President Eleni Attiki explained that the complaint concerns a beauty salon offering teeth whitening, among other services.

According to the specialist, teeth whitening is a dental procedure. It involves not only the procedure itself in the oral cavity, but also the use of specialized chemicals regulated by EU legislation.

The legislation of the Republic of Cyprus and the EU specifies that such procedures must be carried out exclusively by licensed dental clinics in the correct manner. Violation of this law is a criminal offense. Advertising illegal practices and inviting the general public to receive such services is also prohibited.

The Dental Association urges citizens to be careful, undergo dental procedures only from licensed professionals and not to be influenced by advertising from unqualified people on social networks.
