California Dental Plan

We recently learned the plight of dental patients in the U.K..

Seems the folks stateside have their own issues to deal with.

A dentist accused of fondling the breasts of 27 female patients is trying to keep his dental license by arguing that chest massages are an appropriate procedure in certain cases. Mark Anderson's lawyer says dental journals discuss the need to massage the pectoral muscles to treat a common jaw problem.

Apparently this only works on female patients.

Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Phillips gave Lew three new complaints, including one from a 31-year-old woman who said Anderson fondled her at least six times over two years.

Then again, maybe not . . .

Six treatments and she apparently still had a problem.
