An Anchorage dentist captured on video extracting the tooth of a sedated patient as he rode a hoverboard has been found guilty by a judge of 46 counts levied against him after the incident expanded into a wider probe of his practices.
The Friday guilty findings against Seth Lookhart, 34, included counts of “unlawful dental acts,” reckless endangerment and Medicaid fraud, according to NBC affiliate KTUU in Anchorage.
