A BOGUS dentist who earned £230,000 by using a fake degree to land work at a string of NHS ­hospitals was yesterday jailed for three years.

Vinisha Sharma, 37, practised for nine years until she was exposed by claims she had removed the wrong teeth from a patient. Sharma, of Willenhall, West Mids, admitted forgery and fraud.

At Wolverhampton crown court, Judge Amjad Nawaz said her offences were ­"highly criminal".
