Dental dread

OK, so we’ve got this icky dentist in Woodland, Calif., who feels up female patients.

That would be Dr. Mark Anderson, accused of fondling the breasts of 27 women who wanted him to concentrate on another part of their bodies — like their teeth, seeing as he is a dentist and all.

That’s creepy enough. But the story gets weirder.

Instead of admitting he’s a perv and begging for mercy, Anderson figures the best defense is a good offense.

He says massages of the pectoral muscles are legitimate therapy for something called TMJ, temporo-mandibular joint disorder, which causes head and neck pain.

If I were the judge handling that case, I wouldn’t know whether to laugh or retch.

But wait, it gets weirder still. One of the complainants, a 31-year-old woman, said Anderson fondled her AT LEAST SIX TIMES over two years.

She says she started wearing tight shirts with high necklines on her visits, but "Anderson would still get in under her shirt and bra," according to a police report.

Women of America: If you go to a dentist and he gropes you, call the police.

Oh, and one more thing: DO NOT GO BACK TO VISIT HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN!
