State investigative documents lay out a case against a San Diego dentist, saying he pulled teeth, performed root canals and installed fillings children didn’t need.
“I should have asked more questions,” she told us. “I should have demanded more answers from this doctor.”
Jane told us she decided to visit a different dentist. According to the state accusation, the new dentist was “unable to verify via X-ray all the work [Nguyen] claimed to have completed and billed for.” State investigators spoke with that second dentist about their findings and brought in a board-retained expert to review records. The state’s expert found, “Of the 10 teeth that respondent charged for treatment, only three teeth had actual treatment performed.
Davis regularly takes the stand as an expert witness for dental malpractice cases and is heavily involved in local and state dental affiliations. We sent him copies of X-rays and treatment plans from both mothers we interviewed, with their permission. Davis sided with the state’s accusation and was critical of Nguyen’s treatment plans.
“When we’re seeing a lack of monitoring on patient vitals for their oxygen levels — pulse, blood rate, respiration — you’re just rolling the dice for somebody else’s life,” Davis said. “It’s outrageous.” “Who knows how many other children have suffered through his hands,“ Jane said. “I don’t know why it took so long. I don’t know why, honestly.“
