Dentists are kind of the bottom feeders of medical doctors so it’s not a shocker that they use a lot of their time gassing women up and groping them. Unfortunately, this dentist got caught so he had to make some shit up.

The attorney for a Woodland dentist told jurors that his client massaged women’s chests as part of a medical treatment.

Defense attorney Michael Rothschild told the six-man, six-woman Yolo County jury that Mark Anderson was treating his female clients for temporomandibular disorder, or TMD. The attorney says the condition affects the muscles of the upper body.

Anderson faces 19 felony charges for skin-to-skin contact and one misdemeanor for touching a patient’s breasts over her clothing. The incidents occurred between February 2005 and his arrest in August 2007 and brought complaints from 14 women.

One of the initial 20 felonies was dropped Monday as Rothschild and Deputy District Attorney Robert Gorman began closing arguments.

I guess it makes sense that gropings would be highest amongst dentists because there aren’t a great deal of other places where women are passed out for you as a doctor all by yourself. If you grope a woman before performing open heart surgery on her, you might get some strange looks from your surgical colleagues. Even moreso if you grope her after already opening her collarbone.

I’d like to believe though that this guy just had an amazing medical breakthrough and figured out how to cure TMD by gentle massaging of the chest and that these uptight dames are just pushing science back 20 years. Because then I’ll really be justified for all the times I’ve forced my hands up and down a woman’s body and said, “IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.” It was science, you see. Science.
