Imagine visiting the dentist, getting put under general anesthesia and waking up with 20 of your teeth missing. It happened to a man in Germany. The dentist didn't ask him for permission, and the mass extraction wasn't necessary.
The dentist was charged with causing bodily harm and given an eight-month suspended jail sentence.
He also had his permission to practice dentistry revoked -- a decision he appealed against in the Magdeburg Admistrative Court. Unfortunately for him, the court confirmed the decision on Monday, ruling that he was unworthy of the profession.
