An Abbotsford dentist has agreed to a year-long suspension from practising and $10,000 in penalties after admitting to misconduct for the second time in the last three years.
Dr. Kyle Nawrot reached a consent order with the B.C. College of Oral Health Professionals in late August, and the order was published on the college's website this week.
In it, Nawrot admits to several acts of misconduct, summarized by the college as follows:
The college became aware of the misconduct when two patients submitted complaints about Nawrot in 2021.
Nawrot is still subject to an earlier consent order, which he agreed to in February 2020.
In that case, Nawrot admitted to misconduct that included providing "treatment and procedures that were unnecessary, excessive, inappropriate, and/or not supported by a diagnosis;" administering "sedative agents that went beyond minimal sedation," which he was not qualified to do; and inappropriate billing, among other things.
Under the 2020 consent order, Nawrot was suspended for nine months, from February through October of that year. He was also required to undergo what the college called "extensive remedial education."
