\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPatients of Smiles at Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia are being urged to get tested for possible exposure to HIV and hepatitis after Dr. Kirti Chopra’s dentistry license was suspended and her practice shut down. State health officials are investigating complaints about unsanitary practices at the dental office. “Our team went out with them to conduct an on-site visit to document the practices at the dentist’s office. It ends up being a strong possibility of transfer of bodily fluids between patients,” said James Garrow, spokesperson for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health. The Pennsylvania Department of State temporarily suspended Dr. Chopra’s license last week.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
