Patient kills dentist over 'unsatisfactory' treatment

An arrest warrant was sought Thursday for a man on charges of killing a dentist for “unsatisfactory” dental work.

The 30 year-old man, surnamed Kim, killed his 56 year-old dentist, surnamed Yoo, at around 7 p.m. Wednesday at a dental clinic in Osan, Gyeonggi Province, according to the Hwasung Dongbu Police Station. 

Kim, after receiving the first treatment at Yoo’s dental clinic last May to remove tartar from his teeth, continued to visit the dentist two to three times afterwards as his teeth smarted after the work. Despite Kim’s complaints, Yoo said that the treatment was done properly and refused to provide additional medical care. 

Kim stabbed Yoo multiple times and the dentist died at a hospital while receiving emergency treatment. Kim admitted to the crime and said that he was suffering from depression, according to the police. Kim did not flee the crime scene and remained with Yoo, the police said
