An Ipswich dentist has been forced to close after a fire broke out.

Fire crews from Ipswich East, Ipswich Princes Street, and Nayland attended Mydentist, based on Hines Road, following reports of the blaze just before 11.30am on Monday.

Two breathing apparatus crews ventilated the scene, and a spokesman for the Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that no casualties were reported.

The cause of the fire was determined as accidental, after a dental burner used to melt moulds and plastics caught alight.

A stop was called at 12.15pm.

Mydentist in Woodbridge, which is manning the phone for the Ipswich practice, confirmed that it expects the Hines Road surgery to open again on Tuesday.
