The Gothenburg dentist was reported to the Swedish Medical Responsibility Board by two patients, including one who said the dentist repaired the same three teeth 71, 59 and 51 times during a six year period, Swedish news agency TT reported Wednesday.
Both of the patients said scientists with the odontological department at Gothenburg University told them their dental work was poorly performed.
Authorities said the dentist was previously issued a warning from the Swedish Medical Responsibility Board in 2007, but he failed to comply with the board's request for patient records and an official statement.
The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare said it has yet to obtain any evidence indicating the man was a licensed dentist.
