Dentist sued over 8 crowns, 4 root canals, 20 fillings in single visit
A patient accused Minnesota dentist Kevin Molldrem of negligence after he reportedly treated 28 teeth in one visit.

Overview

  • Kathleen Wilson, a Minnesota woman, has filed a lawsuit against her dentist, Dr. Kevin Molldrem, alleging that he performed eight dental crowns, four root canals, and 20 fillings in a single visit, causing her significant injuries.
  • Wilson claims that Molldrem administered nearly double the recommended dosage of anesthesia during the procedure and falsified her medical records to hide this fact.
  • Dr. Avrum Goldstein, a Florida dentist who reviewed Wilson's case, stated that it is 'impossible' to correctly perform the number of procedures Wilson underwent in a single visit.
  • Wilson had to seek additional dental care to correct the alleged damage caused by Molldrem's treatment, and she is suing for at least $50,000 in damages.
  • If all of Wilson's teeth need to be replaced with implants, all of Molldrem's work and the associated expenses will have been in vain, according to Goldstein.
