What's up with the Woodland, CA dentist pleading "not guilty" to sexual acts on women? Dr. Mark Anderson is saying that his rubbing (fondling) is used to treat TMJ???

sorry if this is low by SD standards but I want to know if there's a shred of truth to this.

goes to show that not even a fancy degree can help some people's game up a notch 👎 ...what a weirdo, and why would some of these women come back for these chest massages anyway.

I wonder if this practitioner was a "holistic" dentist. In all seriousness, there is a minority out there who are HUGE believers that each tooth/body part has basically a pressure/trigger point that can be accessed in other parts of the body😕🙄

I could almost see the scenario, a "holistic" dentist in the stereotypical California setting as the approach to how this could happen. That being said, I think if this dentist is lucky, all that will happen is loosing his license. Better chance of atleast some probation, if not prison time and a listing on the national sex offenders database.

This guy clearly didn't know how to properly rub the breasts. If he did his patients would have been soo happy that their pain vanished there would be no lawsuit 😀

Do note that they came back to him and wore progressively tighter tops. Given how long it went on; i would just say he had cold hands.

In all seriousness though; when a dentist acts in such a manner it jeopardizes our ability to self regulate the profession. Cases like this will be remembered for decades and who knows what might happen when theres one incident like this too many.
