dentist who has been dubbed 'Dentist of Horror' is now in serious
trouble after he was found out to have left patients with serious
injury.

A Dutch dentist has been sentenced to eight years in jail by
a French court on Tuesday for deliberately mangling his patients’ mouths
with dental tools in a case which saw him dubbed “the dentist of
horror”.
The dentist, Jacobus van Nierop, 51, went on trial in March for
ripping out healthy teeth and leaving dozens of patients with injuries
including broken jaws, recurrent abscesses and septicaemia in the small
central town of Chateau-Chinon.
The court in the central town of Nevers also banned him from practising as a dentist and fined him 10,500 euros ($11,900).
During the trial, prosecutor Lucile Jaillon-Bru said Van Nierop had
carried out “useless and painful procedures” on about 100 patients with
the aim of having them reimbursed by medical insurance schemes.
She said he took “pleasure at causing pain” to his patients.
