Harvey Weinstein has begged a judge to let him see a private dentist rather than have prison medics pull out his rotten teeth and leave gaping holes in his mouth.
The disgraced movie producer said his rotten molars had become a dental 'emergency' as he pleaded with a judge at a Los Angeles courtroom.

The 70-year-old is locked up ahead of an October 10 trial on charges he raped and sexually assaulted five women between 2004 and 2013. But in court Wednesday, he argued he should be allowed a bridge or fake teeth to look 'presentable' at the trial.
'I'm in pain every day. I have cavities and I can't eat because I'm missing teeth,' Weinstein told Judge Lench, reports the New York Post.
