A shocking incident at a dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, has left a patient hospitalized after her dentist allegedly attacked her with a weightlifting barbell. The violent altercation occurred on September 3, 2025, when 31-year-old Tien Thao returned to Tuyet Chinh Dental Clinic demanding answers about complications from her braces treatment.
The confrontation escalated when Dr. Nguyen Thi Tuyet Chinh allegedly grabbed a metal barbell and attacked Thao, who had come to the clinic seeking a refund for what she described as a botched orthodontic procedure. The incident was captured on video by a friend who accompanied Thao to the appointment.
