A Minnesota woman has filed a malpractice lawsuit claiming she was left disfigured after her Eden Prairie dentist performed more than 30 procedures during a single appointment.

In a civil lawsuit filed last week against Dr. Kevin Molldrem and Molldrem Family Dentistry in Hennepin County District Court, Kathleen Wilson claimed she had to go to other dentists to fix Molldrem’s “negligent work,” which has caused her “significant injuries,” according to the complaint.

Wilson alleges that Molldrem performed eight crowns, four root canals and 20 fillings in a single visit in July 2020.

According to the lawsuit, Molldrem also provided Wilson with anesthesia “well in excess of (the) recommended dosage” and engaged in “falsifying medical records” regarding the amount of anesthetic administered.

    This happened to an ex of mine, as well as my wife (funny enough they have the same first name). Got a bunch of fillings that were “necessary” only to have a non-predatory dentist look at the xrays and be confused about why the first dentist did it.
