This story may make you cringe a bit. A former Massachusetts dentist was sentenced to one year in jail Monday for using paper clips instead of stainless steel posts in root canals. Dr. Michael Clair pleaded guilty earlier this month to a list of charges, including assault and battery, defrauding Medicaid of $130,000, illegally prescribing medications and witness intimidation. Really though, this story should just make you feel bad for Brenda Almeida and her young son, who underwent a root canal done by Dr. Clair and had to eventually have his tooth removed after it turned black due to the doctor’s shoddy work.
