Minn. Woman Sues Dentist After 4 Root Canals, 8 Dental Crowns and 20 Fillings in a Single Visit.

A Minnesota woman has filed a lawsuit against her dentist, Dr. Kevin Molldrem, after receiving extensive dental work in a single visit that she claims led to disfigurement. The woman, Kathleen Wilson, alleges that Dr. Molldrem provided negligent treatment, administered an unsafe dosage of anesthesia, and falsified medical records to cover it up. An expert opinion from another dentist, Dr. Avrum Goldstein, identified various breaches of duty of care in Wilson's case. Wilson is seeking at least $50,000 in damages for pain, embarrassment, disfigurement, and distress. [Extracted from the article]
