High court imposes conditions on registration of Mayo practitioner for supplying dangerous mouthwash

, Co Mayo, is practising evidence based dentistry and not stocking unauthorised and/or unlicensed products.

In its report, the FTPC said supplying MMS as a mouthwash and for treating gum disease raised concerns from a public safety perspective as dentists have a duty to rely on market authorisation and safely prescribed medicines. While MMS may have certain legitimate uses, for example as a cleaning product, it was not safe to be ingested on its own, it also accepted.

It said no reasonable dentist should have a product for medicinal use which is potentially harmful and for which there is no market authorisation and Dr Van Amerongen should have known the product was not safe and was from a provenance which “could not be trusted”.
