Dr James Pok-Yan Ng a dentist practising in Haberfield, Sydney, was suspended last month after his cleaning and sterilisation practices breached Australian Dental Guidelines.
An inspection found that the dental equipment and practice were poorly cleaned. Sydney Local Health District [SLHD] said patients who had visited the Ramsay Street practice in the past 35 years should get precautionary testing for hepatitis B, C and HIV. Patients who have had multiple invasive procedures are in particular, at risk of contracting an infection.
