A South Carolina jury has returned a $2 million verdict in a dental malpractice case. The suit alleged that the Sexton Dental Clinic pulled too many teeth from a patient's mouth, then attempted to cover up the mistake.
The patient underwent dental surgery in May 2006 to have 3 teeth pulled. Instead, the doctors removed all 16 of her top teeth. They then changed her medical records to try to cover it up.
