Think of what could be your worst experience at the dentist office; does it include a root canal being preformed with a paper clip? Didn’t think so!

The San Francisco Chronicle reported earlier this week about a Massachusetts dentist named Michael Clair who was billing Medicaid for stainless steel dentist tools, yet actually using paper clips in patient’s teeth. Not only is this crazy dentist being charged with assault, but battery, larceny, submitting false claims to Medicaid, and illegally prescribing drugs too.

Add this to the list of why people are afraid of taking a trip to the dentist.
