https://nypost.com/2022/03/18/wisconsin-dentist-convicted-of-fraud-after-breaking-patients-teeth/ A Wisconsin dentist has been convicted of health care fraud after he purposely damaged his patients’ teeth so he could bill insurance companies for crown procedures. Scott Charmoli,61, was also convicted of making false statements related to health care matters in the scheme from 2015 to 2019, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The Grafton resident attached more than 1,600 crowns over a 20-month period, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. On average, Wisconsin dentists installed fewer than six crowns per 100 patients, but in 2019, Charmoli’s rate exceeded 32 per 100 patients, an insurance company executive testified, according to the outlet. “查莫利医生欺骗信任自己的患者,告诉他们需要修复牙齿。实际上,患者的牙齿完好无损,是查莫利医生故意把它们钻坏的。” 法庭文件写道。“查莫利医生用钻头打破 患者牙齿的一部分,通常是牙尖。在故意损坏牙齿后,他用X光拍摄患者口中的断牙,声称这是原来的样子。然后,他再进行牙冠手术,并将X光照寄给保险公司,证明手术 的合理性。” 20个月装了1600个牙冠,真够狠的。光看面相,还以为是个好牙医。

牙医诊所要找有口碑有名气的,小诊所的牙医特别容易出幺蛾子。 有次牙疼,预约常去的诊所要等1周。第2天就在家附近找了一家牙医诊所, 那个印度牙医上来就让做root canal。犹豫了半天没做。 吃了一周止疼药,再去老诊所,我的牙医看了说没必要做根管,就给我做了常规洗牙。 让我以后吃完甜食要刷牙,直到现在牙齿都没事。
在罚款、吊销执照、终生禁医、坐牢之外,必须加上1600次破坏他的牙齿!
我有相反的建议,别跟着一个牙医太久,这行非常杀熟
第二次去日本女医生那里,说是咬到最后的牙龈,吃东西注意。牙龈里面注入抗生素,吃抗生素两天就好
都是这样,没有不坏的
傻大娘,牙还是你的牙,只是被打断了的牙
后来我去找了我自己的牙医,他照了片子说那个crown的阴影估计是个气泡,因为两年前就有而且没有变化。说我不需要deep cleaning ,brace也没必要带。
