WOODLAND, Calif. — 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. Police say Anderson said during recorded phone calls that he routinely massaged patients' chests to treat temporo-mandibular joint disorder, or TMJ, which causes neck and head pain. Attorney Robert Zaro told administrative law judge Jonathan Lew at a hearing Thursday that he should let Anderson keep his dental license while disciplinary appeals proceed. Anderson would be supervised by two assistants and would no longer do the chest rubs, Zaro said. Zaro said Anderson, 48, of Woodland, needs to keep seeing patients so he can feed his seven children and pay for his defense. The judge made no immediate decision. Lew suspended Anderson's dental license last month. He was charged with two misdemeanor counts of battery and sexual battery. Yolo County prosecutors are investigating complaints from more than two dozen women who say they also were groped in the examining chair in the last five years. Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Phillips gave Lew three new complaints, including one from a 31-year-old woman who said Anderson fondled her at least six times over two years. She took to wearing tight shirts with high necklines, "and Anderson would still get in under her shirt and bra," according to a police report.

Embattled Calif. Dentist Says Breast Rubs Necessary
That headline belongs in the hall of fame.
That is a comedically brilliant retort!
I wonder how many female patients had this procedure and DIDN'T complain.
Great way for a dentist to build up his practice.
He's not the plumber and he's not the plumber's son but he can lay the pipe until the plumber comes.
The real blonde comes back five times.
If my dentist ever touched me I would have waited until his fingers were in my mouth & bit him as hard as I could. Why she went back after the 1st time is beyond me.
He had the magic hands.
He should have made like Bob Hope and used tongs for the mammaries.
He would have been missing fingers on at least one hand and had a swift kick where the sun doesn’t shine too.
Maybe she was hopeful the dentist would fill her cavity?
You’d be in jail and he’s be a one-handed millionaire groper. ;^)
I don’t know about that. If he was dumb enough to grope with one hand & have one hand in my mouth ..I might be able to say it was an automatic response. I get groped I bit down in shock. Hmmm Ok hows this I let the Animal deal with the gropers. Then he is in jail & I can stay home.
