This Dr. Feelgood explores all techniques in the field of den-tits-ry. Long and short of it, a touchy feely dentist likes to grab boobies. So about 2 dozen women have accused him of inappropriately juggling the twins while in the chair. His defense: according to dental journals, it is proper procedure to play Tune-in Tokyo when treating a common jaw disorder. Who knew. Surprisingly, he didn't offer a more standard (and harrassing) method for jaw exercise. Nontheless, you have to wonder why this guy hasn't had his teeth knocked out by now. All 24 of these women are somebody's wife, girlfriend, sister, and/or daughter. On the other hand, you have this item from the article:
"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"
First things first, this woman is 31 and she's going to the dentist that many times? Shit, give up the candy or Skoal or whatever is fuckin' up your mouth that much. Secondly, you've been fondled 6 times and now you're upset? It wasn't strange to you after, say, the first time? Are there no other dentists in or around the Woodland, California area? Dentists that don't put their hands under your shirt? Certainly you've been to other dentists in your lifetime that didn't try to undress you. Then again, you're averaging a visit every 4 months now, so apparently dental care hasn't been a past priority.
Meanwhile somewhere in America, Phil Mickleson's dentist is being razzed by his buddies.
In her defense, she didn't mind the fondling and dirty talking, but when he pulled out and sprayed on her chest, she thought that was a little excessive.

Ok, now this whole looking for TMJ excuse is interesting and may have some sort of merit if he had ever bothered to try other methods as well, except that in other reports one of the women reported that he asked about whether she had recently gotten implants, she said yes, he reached in and did a little "palpatation of the pectoral muscles" (as he likes to call it) and then told her that they were nice and that it was a good job. That pretty much eliminates any sort of TMJ related reason. He's just a horny dude who enjoys the fact that he's a in a position of some sort of authority and can take advantage of it.

Now I suddenly understand why dentists are always telling people to spit.

I haven't been to the dentist 6 times this decade.

OMG that's so funny! I just read that story the other day, and thought the same thing - is there no other dentist near you? Either that or she enjoyed it so much she's going back for more, until the lawsuit bandwagon stopped by her house...

I'm not so sure about the chest massage, but I'm on the three times a year cleaning schedule. Took about five years off from seeing the dentist (and flossing). Gums got in a bad way, and it's been an uphill climb to try and beat them back into shape.
It's just amazing what a person with the smallest amount of authority can convince people to do (doesn't hurt if they're not that bright). Remember a few years ago when a person was calling fast food joints and telling the manager that an employee had been stealing. The person was able to convince the manager to strip search the female employees.

Dave, there was also a story a couple years back about a guy who just went dor to door telling people he was a doctor giving out free breast exams. Like 20 women let the guy in to feel them up.
