Autistic man, 21, has ALL of his teeth pulled out after going to the dentist for just three extractions
An autistic man has been left toothless after a dentist pulled all of his 32 teeth during what should have been a routine procedure.
Christopher Crist, 21, from Indianapolis, went to the dentist where he wanted just three teeth which were causing him problems removed.
The young man claims that after the dentist gave him pills to help with the pain, there was 'a miscommunication' that led to all his teeth being taken out.

The young man says that the mix-up occurred after he took some pills that would counteract the pain of having his teeth pulled out.
Mr Crist told the TV station: 'It [the pills] made me loopy and as they were doing that, they were shooting my gums with the numbing gel.
'They took the first three that I asked them to and then they just kept going.'
The dentist has not yet responded to a request for comment from MailOnline.
