Dayton Daily News: Turner Requests Top-Level Visit to VA Dental Clinic

DAYTON — U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, R-Centerville, issued a letter Wednesday reiterating his office’s invitation for Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki to visit the Dayton VA Medical Center.

The invitation comes in the wake of news that nine patients seen at the medical center’s dental clinic may have contracted hepatitis B or hepatitis C from a dentist who did not follow basic infection control practices. The dentist, Dwight M. Pemberton, 81, of Centerville, performed invasive dental procedures on patients, but failed to change latex gloves and sterilize dental instruments properly between patients, according to VA investigation documents.
