Reply To: Dentist leaning on my breasts

#20143

Having spent a great deal of time in a dentist’s chair as a teen, (I had braces), I can honestly say I can’t think of any procedure a dentist does that would require him to lean on a woman’s breasts, but there is some minute possibility it was innocent. If you know some of this guy’s other female patients, see if you can find out whether he’s done similar things to them. If not, think back: Was there a dental assistant present? Did he say anything odd or inappropriate? Did he seem to be enjoying cleaning your teeth (or whatever he was doing) a little TOO much? Irrespective of what you discover, I’d definitely see about finding another dentist, and let this guy know, in a non-hostile, non-confrontational way, that the reason you are seeking another dentist is that his behavior in the exam room made you extremely uncomfortable. If you CAN contact some of his other female patients, and you’ve all been groped, it’s time to file a group complaint with the State Medical Board. Be prepared to get treated like hysterical morons, however, because if there’s one thing all doctors are good at, it’s closing ranks when one of their own breaks the law…
