When a client neglected to settle a $750 bill for two dental bridges, a Bavarian dentist took the only option open to him; he reclaimed the goods.

According to police, the dentist barged into the woman's house, tied her up, forced her mouth open and yanked out the two bridges that had not been paid for.

The dentist is now under investigation for assault for forcing open the woman's mouth, and theft for taking the bridges.

The crime report states that "the woman was in pain when she showed up at the police station."
