Kool Smiles, a dentist and dental assistant are being sued for injuring a child in Lexington, Kentucky. According to the complaint the child's mother was refused access to her child and was forced to stay in the waiting room. Anyone who knows anything about these dental mill knows is this fact.
When the child came out he was crying and told him mommy they hurt him. There is no telling what all these monsters did, but one thing for sure, the left a serious burn on his cheek. His mother took him to the University of Kentucky medical center to have the burn examined and was told it most likely would leave a permanent scar on the little boy's face.
Currently Harris Williams & Company are bidding for the purchase of Kool Smiles. Honestly, I look forward to this, the deeper the pockets the more the rewards for all the thousands of children lining up for compensation from the abuse of Kool Smiles creepy, slimy, dentists and their assistants. Expect Kool Smiles liability insurance company to drop them like hot potatoes just as two have done with Small Smiles. Then what?
(Harris Williams & Co. appear to be negotiators for Private Equity Firms, according to their website. Wonder which firm really wants Kool Smiles?)
I hope the dental assistants working in these places do not make the mistake they are innocent bystanders. This is one of those cases of "if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem". Personally, I would roll on these creeps.
You either have the chance to stand up and report it, or sit in the defendants chair, it is your choice, choose wisely. Do not end up like some I know who have tried to ride it out, thinking they "company" will have their lawyers protect you. This is not likely to happen and you will likely be told to get your own attorney, only after you meet with their attorney's and they get all the evidence they can from you to help cover their ass and lay the blame in your lap. I've seen it happen over and over again.
