COLUMBIA — A South Carolina woman was awarded a $2 million jury verdict against a dental clinic that mistakenly pulled 13 teeth.
The State reported that 28-year-old Elizabeth Smith of Sumter wanted three teeth pulled when she went to the Sexton Dental Clinic in Florence in 2006. Her lawsuit says a dentist at the clinic pulled all 16 of her upper teeth.

Clinic attorney Saunders Bridges says he is considering an appeal.
