The claim states the dentist used cruel and traumatizing "behavior management techniques" that allegedly included include slapping faces and covering mouths with towels.

Several patients and former patients have come forward to accuse Dr. Errol Gaum of professional malpractice by using excessive force on children in his dentist chair.

“After reviewing complaints, the Committee ordered that Dr. Gaum’s license to practice dentistry in the Province of Nova Scotia be suspended indefinitely, effective immediately.”

“The crying didn’t stop. It was more than just the typical ‘I don’t want to be here’ type of crying.”

"He does not deserve to do this to the kids. It's kids. I don't understand what is going on, why are we not protecting them?"
