FLAGSTAFF, AZ — An Arizona dentist’s license is now suspended after state regulators say he used household pliers on a patient during surgery.
The dentist allegedly used the non-sterile pliers to try to remove the patient's tooth.
His license is now suspended pending a hearing after the dentist's own assistant reported that incident as well as several other alleged violations.
ABC15 Investigator Anne Ryman has the full story airing tonight on ABC15 News following Monday Night Football.
