Leann Rimes filed a lawsuit on Thursday, Feb. 14, alleging that her dentist's poor work has actually been so traumatic that it has negatively impacted her career, according to US Magazine.
She claims that her "ability to perform as an artist has been and will continue to be significantly compromised until all re-treatment is complete."
Apparently the singer is in chronic pain, and has inflammed gums and bleeding which is the result of badly fitting dental crowns installed over a three-year period. According to E Canada, Rimes couldn't handle the pain that she had to actually cancel some tour dates, and reschedule surgery.
Rimes tweeted: “O-M-G i got 3 shots in the roof of my mouth & 1 INSANE shot directly into the half dead half ALIVE nerve through the hole he drilled on the backside of my tooth.”
According to EntertainmentToday, dentist, Dr. Duane C. McKay, she claims, gave her substandard veneers and crowns which led to "severe tooth pain, gum inflammation and chronic gum bleeding." Because of that, Rimes had to have nine root canals, bone grafting, a temporary bridge, physical therapy and suffered a "permanent cosmetic deficiency."
The singer is seeking unspecified damages for physical, emotional and psychiatric trauma due to the pain caused by faulty dental work, according to LifeDaily. She also requires financial compensation for loss of past and future earnings, claiming the resultant pain affected her ability to perform at her workplace.
Do you think her claim for compensation on past and future earnings are justified?
