ALBAWABA - In an unfortunate turn of events, Kathleen Wilson from Minnesota has filed a lawsuit against her dentist, Dr. Kevin Muldream, claiming that she was left disfigured and in a rough condition due to multiple dental procedures performed in a single visit.
Wilson's civil lawsuit, filed last week in Hennepin County District Court, accuses Dr. Muldream of performing an excessive number of procedures over a period of five-and-a-half hours in July 2020. According to the lawsuit, Wilson underwent 8 dental crowns, 4 root canals, and 20 fillings in a single session.
Following the extensive treatment, Wilson claims to have experienced pain, embarrassment, disfigurement, and sadness. To rectify what she refers to as "the mess," she had to schedule additional appointments with other dentists.

Wilson further alleges that Dr. Muldream overused anesthesia and falsified her medical records to evade responsibility for any potential complications arising from the procedures. Supported by an experienced Florida dentist, Wilson is seeking damages of at least $50000 through her lawsuit.
Subsequently, Wilson sought appropriate treatment to repair and replace the restorations from the University of Minnesota College of Dentistry over the course of several months. The goal was to stabilize her teeth, according to the details provided in the lawsuit.

As this lawsuit progresses, both sides will have the opportunity to present their evidence and arguments. It will be up to the court to determine the validity of Wilson's claims and whether she is entitled to the damages she seeks.
Cases like these highlight the importance of patients being aware of their rights and seeking redress in situations where they believe they have been subjected to malpractice or negligence. Dentists and other healthcare professionals have a duty of care to their patients and must provide treatment that meets the standard of care.
