ANCHORAGE, Alaska - An Alaska dentist accused of fraud and unnecessarily sedating patients also performed a procedure while riding a wheeled, motorized vehicle known as a hoverboard, authorities said. Prosecutors charged 34-year-old Seth Lookhart with felony Medicaid fraud and reckless endangerment. “When did Dr. Lookhart get your approval to take out your tooth on a hoverboard,” prosecutor Joan Wilson asked in court. Wilhelm also was angered that Lookhart sedated her son for a teeth cleaning, she saidLookhart denied the felony fraud allegations but acknowledged some other accusations, including the hoverboard procedure, defence attorney Paul Stockler said.
