Nathaniel Weimer, Wilson's lawyer, said they sought the help of Dr. Avrum Goldstein—a dentist and faculty member of a university in Florida—in looking through Wilson's records during the investigation.

Goldstein found that Molldream was right when he said "virtually every tooth" of Wilson was damaged, but noted that his approach to treating them was wrong and "not humanely possible to achieve" as it "required a slow, thoughtful, careful, and measured response."

He also said that the anesthetics that Molldrem administered on Wilson was "grossly exceeding what would be considered safe," noting that the maximum dosage should only be 490 mg when he gave her 960 mg.

According to Goldstein, going beyond the amount "places the patient at risk for an overdose of anesthetic and potential harmful effects."

Wilson is now seeking in excess of $50,000 (P2.8 million) in damages, CNN International reported, adding that Molldrem has been issued a summons at his office in late December.
