Have you had a dentist steal or try to steal a gold crown he or she removed?

Asked by Aster (20023points) August 12th, 2014

Many years ago my then dentist pulled out a gold crown and kept it. At the time I had no idea the value of it.
Then a year later I asked him where it was and he joked, “it fell behind that file cabinet” and smiled.
A few years after that my father told me he had several gold crowns removed but took a prescription bottle for the dentist to put them in. When he told the dentist “put those in here” he says he got a very dirty look from the dentist!
Have you had a dentist keep one of your gold crowns to re-sell?
