Some dentists use laughing gas on the job, but one British
dentist has been suspended for using the human kind instead.
Authorities at the British General Dental Council say they will
remove Mattew Walton 35, from the official Dentist's Register
next month for a variety of offensive offenses, including farting
and belching in front of patients and staff.
In addition, Walton has been accused of swearing and making
"V-sign" hand gestures to patients and staff behind their
backs.
Walton had been employed at a dental practice in Whitchurch,
Shropshire, but officials ruled that his conduct truly stunk and
required immediate suspension of his registration "for the
protection of the public."
The list of tacky transgressions includes:
Walton admitted all the allegations about clinical matters, but
denied some of the allegations of poor conduct. However, the
committee said, "In the course of your evidence you did make
further concessions regarding the [conduct] allegations."
