Dentists and breast massages

October 17, 2007

A dentist is actually arguing that breast massages are medically necessary:

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.

Question for the board, does he also do this “procedure” on his male patients?

And just what kind of “jaw problem” is he referring to?
