Glasgow dentist worked for two decades without insurance

Banned sign

A dodgy dentist has been struck off for working without insurance for two decades.

The General Dental Council (GDC) struck off David Black, 64, for a serious departure from acceptable standards.

All dentists must have their own indemnity cover, which costs just £1472 a year.

But Black ran the surgery in Glasgow’s city centre without insurance, claiming instead that he had made his own arrangements in case anything went wrong.

Black was banned for five years.
