The dentist has been in practice for quite a while. Dr. Wesley Meyers has been a family dentist for more than 30 years and in good standing with the state board. Now, the daughter of the man who died says Dr. Meyers should retire before someone else gets hurt.

Charles Gaal, Jr. went to Dr. Wesley Meyers to have his lower dentures replaced. During the procedure in September of 2006, Dr. Meyers dropped a small screw driver down Gaal's throat. It was surgically removed from his colon.

Then six months later during a follow up visit, it happened again.

"He told us it had never happened and never would again," said Anne Marie greer, the victim's daughter.

The complaint with Florida's board of dentistry says Dr. Meyers dropped a small wrench down Gaal's throat during the follow-up visit. An x-ray image showed the one inch metal cylinder lodged in the elderly man's lung. Less than two months later, the World War II veteran died from complications.

The state's board of dentistry banned Dr. Meyers from doing dental implants without refresher training. But since it was ruled an accident, Dr. Meyers was allowed to keep his license.

Dr. Meyers' Tallahassee attorney said Meyers would gladly retire if he could bring Charles Gaal, Jr., back. As part of his voluntary deal with the state, Dr. Meyers can only practice on patients younger than 64.

In the meantime, Gaal's family is planning to sue their longtime dentist.
