The dentist extracted 22 healthy teeth and charged her $15.000

A dentist in the Russian city of St. Petersburg has been accused of extracting 22 healthy teeth from a woman in order to obtain illegal material benefits.

The dentist, who was accused of fraud, not only removed the 43-year-old woman's healthy teeth, but also installed bridges of "inappropriate quality", according to the prosecution's statement.

The Russian dentist charged the patient about $15.000 for this procedure, reports N1.

Investigators believe that the case of the 43-year-old Russian woman is not the only one, but that the same dentist committed several such crimes and are now looking for his other patients.
