Bruce Forsyth and Jimmy Hill have medical chin condition, claims dentist
Bruce Forsyth and Jimmy Hill are suffering from a 'severe' medical condition, a dentist accused of mistreating patients with jaw problems claimed.
Francois Jacobus Rossouw, 54, devised a special brace to help with jaw problems but is alleged to have acted unprofessionally in using it on two patients.
The two celebrities have never been patients of Rossouw but he claimed at a disciplinary hearing their long chins were a result of "severe class three malocclusion".
Asked about his treatment of two patients he told the General Dental Council: "I never said a severe class three. Jimmy Hill and Bruce Forsyth - that's a severe class three."
The GDC has heard how two patients went to him at The Dental Practice Brickstables House, Halstead Road, Lexden Heath, Colchester, Essex, with the condition, and a third attended needing crowns, between June 2003 and June 2007.
Rossouw is accused of being unprofessional and not acting in their best interests after giving the first two invasive treatment without him advising them it was not usual practice and leaving them in agony.
In both cases patients were fitted with splints and orthodontic appliances to pull their mouths back into line, it is said.
He is also accused of failing to reconsider the treatment plans when the patients reported pain, and then stopped working at the surgery without telling them or making arrangements for their care.
In a third case, he is said to have fitted a woman's two crowns without giving her a full description first.
Many of the dentist's patients had complex problems with the temperomandibular joint connecting the lower jaw to the skull.
Many had "done the rounds" of other medical practitioners looking for a cure, the hearing was told.
Rossouw insisted his method usually produced a "successful outcome or did in the past, significantly".
The dentist escaped punishment in 2008 despite being found guilty of serious professional misconduct for giving trainee police officer Anna Hitchcock 'inappropriate and irreversible treatment' which left her suffering severe jaw pain.
He denies a string of misconduct charges.
The hearing continues.
