Skylar King, 28, filed a lawsuit in Clayton, Missouri, in April against dentist Mark Meyers (and his Same Day Dentures clinic) for a 2009 session in which Meyers somehow obtained King’s consent to extract all 32 of his teeth and provide dentures, promptly after obtaining $5,235 on King’s mother’s credit card. King, seeking treatment for an abscessed tooth, said Dr. Meyers warned he was at risk of “fatal blood poisoning” unless all the teeth were yanked. Dr. Meyers insisted King actually requested the procedure, even though X-rays revealed at least 28 of the teeth were treatable.
