Dr Anand Kamath felt ?bullied and *harassed? by an investigation into his record-keeping, which had suffered because of the amount of patients he treated.

An NHS dentist who tried to treat as many people as possible so that they didn?t have to go private killed himself when health officials threatened to strike him off.

Dr Anand Kamath felt ?bullied and *harassed? by an investigation into his record-keeping, which had suffered because he and his dentist wife had taken on 10,000 patients ? four times that of the average practice. At one point they were each *treating as many as 50 people a day.

An inquest last week heard how it led to the hardworking father of three being summoned to a meeting with NHS officials and being sent a letter warning he could be reported to the General Dental Council.
