Chinese clinic extracts 12 teeth from man after he complains of ache in one tooth

A Chinese clinic has been punished by authorities after it extracted the 12 remaining teeth from a 63-year-old man with high blood pressure and heart disease, and withdrew all the money from his accounts.

The man, surnamed Li, from Baoji, northwestern China’s Shaanxi province, went to the Datuanyuan Dental Clinic to have an aching tooth checked last September.

Li recently told Chinese media outlets that he believed the clinic’s ads, such as “Get a dental implant in the morning and eat meat in the afternoon”, and “Have a complete set of teeth, live past 100”.
