Philadelphia Dental Clinic Patients Advised to Test for HIV and Hepatitis
The Philadelphia Department of Public Health has advised patients of Smiles on the Square dental clinic to get tested for hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and HIV. This follows the temporary suspension of the clinic's dentist, Kirti Chopra, due to unsanitary practices. The clinic, located at 255 South 17th Street, was found to be reusing single-use medical supplies, posing a risk of disease transmission. Although no infections have been reported, the health department is taking precautionary measures and working to update the clinic's infection control practices.
