The marathon dental surgery took five and a half hours, and according to the patient's lawsuit, the dentist gave him twice the amount of anesthesia he should have received.
A Minnesota woman has filed a lawsuit against her dentist, who claims the specialist performed 4 root canals, placed 8 crowns and 20 fillings on her teeth in one visit, causing her excruciating pain.
But about the story a report According to the New York Post, the dentist forged documents. He did not specifically describe the amount of anesthesia he administered to his patient.
Kathleen Wilson He filed a civil lawsuit Thursday in a Minnesota court accusing him Dr. Kevin MuldremittThat in July 2020 he performed a serious amount of intervention on his dentures in one session over five and a half hours.
After undergoing several hours of dental surgery, Wilson, according to the affidavit, experienced severe pain, shame and anxiety. She ended up seeing several other dentists to repair the damage Dr. Muldream had done to her teeth.
According to her lawsuit, the dentist gave her too much anesthesia and falsified medical records to avoid prosecution.

Armed with the expert opinion of another dentist practicing in Florida, the plaintiff took the case to trial. Wilson visited her Dr. Avrum Goldstein According to Dr. Mulgrim, he correctly diagnosed in July 2020 that “almost every tooth” in his patient’s mouth had decayed, but the treatment performed a week later was woefully inadequate.
He needed a slow, deliberate, careful and thoughtful response to his illness. (…) Trying to stuff every hole in every tooth in her mouth in one visit not only contravened necessary steps, it was not possible in a humane, efficient, or constructive way.
– He wrote in his expert opinion dated November of this year.
Dr. Goldstein said his colleague's attempt to restore all of Wilson's teeth in one visit did not adequately address Wilson's susceptibility to disease or potential tooth loss.
