Dangerous dentist – level 1

18-03-2016 07:00

This news is about a dentist. He is from France. He is 51 years old. He hurts people. People call him “the butcher”.

One woman wants braces. He takes out eight teeth. This is very painful. The woman bleeds for days.

Sadly, she is not the only one. The dentist hurts over a hundred people.

Now the dentist is in big trouble. He can go to prison for 10 years. He can pay 375,000 euro.

Difficult words: hurt (if you hurt somebody, you do something bad to them), braces (wires in the mouth which move the teeth a little), bleed (red “water” comes out of your body part when you bleed).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

What should happen to the dentist?
