OFFICIAL COMPLAINT – DENTAL MALPRACTICE / PATIENT MUTILATIONI am filing this complaint after visiting more than five dentists in less than a year, trying to avoid being forced into getting a dental crown. The vast majority of dental offices refuse to perform a root canal unless the patient agrees to — or is pressured into — paying for a crown.The last dentist I visited promised they would not perform any unnecessary procedures. They specifically stated they would only perform the root canal. I believed them. I trusted them. Unfortunately, that trust was completely misplaced.This predatory, profit-driven practice took advantage of my good faith. Instead of honoring their word, they deliberately over-prepared my tooth — shaving off more than half of it from the sides — leaving it exposed, fragile, and essentially destroyed.It appears that Dr. MA either lost control of the drill or intentionally continued removing healthy tooth structure far beyond what was necessary, reducing it to less than half its original size. The result: the gum is now exposed, and the tooth is no longer functional.To make matters worse, this dentist is now falsely claiming that the tooth already had a crown. That is not true. The tooth had a cavity filling, not a crown — something clearly shown and confirmed by the X-rays.Because of their actions, I was left with no choice but to pay for a crown that I never needed in the first place. This is unethical, unprofessional, and in my opinion, a clear act of mutilation motivated by financial gain.I’ll be seeking legal advice.And I will be submitting this complaint to the Better Business Bureau and providing all supporting evidence, including X-rays, documentation, and online reviews that reflect this dentist’s pattern of misconduct — as seen on Yelp and Google.
