Hong Kong police arrest man after dentists raise alarm over cheap cross-border dental care centres
Hong Kong police have arrested a man and raided a mainland Chinese dental care chain’s consultation centre in the city over alleged illegal practices. The arrest on Thursday came after a dentist group warned Hongkongers about the risks of seeking treatment over the border in Shenzhen, as a growing number of mainland clinics seek to attract Hong Kong patients. Police said on Thursday that the 72-year-old man was arrested in North Point for alleged illegal practice of dentistry, following a joint raid conducted by the force and the Department of Health at a Wuyuan Medical consultation centre, a mainland dental care chain.
