We all know there are a few crooked dentists out there that overcharge you and your insurance company way more than they need to for certain supplies. But this guy from Massachusetts might just be the most crooked of them all.

He was in court and admitted to using paper clips instead of stainless steel posts during root canal procedures in multiple patients.

Seriously...paperclips!

According to the Herald News the dentist said that he had used unhygienic office supplies in the mouths of his patients and then billed Medicare for expensive dental pieces he should have been using.

And it gets worse! The (now former) dentist had his license to practice revoked in a number of states and has a laundry list of charges that he is pleading guilty to. If convicted he could face up to 15 years in prison.

The charges against him:

  • Assault and Battery
  • Witness Intimidation
  • Illegally Prescribing Drugs
  • Using His Practice to Defraud Medicaid of $130,000

He’s not exactly the guy I’d want fiddling around with sharp tools in my mouth.
