The father of a 6-year-old girl whose teeth were so rotten her life was endangered pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment. Kenneth Wanamaker Jr, 37, pleaded guilty on Friday, weeks before a scheduled trial in the Northhampton County, Pennsylvania, case against him after the vast majority of his daughter's teeth were found to be abscessed. A dentist had testified the girl's teeth were in such bad shape they posed a potentially fatal threat to her health. Kenneth Wanamaker Jr, 37, of Northhampton County, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment after his daughter's teeth were found to be in a possibly fatal condition (File photo, August 14) A dentist report said that the girl had fourteen abscessed. She had been scheduled for surgery in March but did not have the procedure because her parents did not set up a pre-operation examination . Fourteen of the girl's 20 teeth were either abscessed, and two more needed to be pulled or had severe root and tooth decay, the dentist said, according to the Morning Call. She had been scheduled to have surgery on her teeth in March but did not end up having an procedure because her parents never scheduled a pre-operation examination. Wanamaker also pleaded guilty to false swearing and is eligible for parole. His sentence is two months to a year in prison, but he's been in jail since having his bail revoked in December for failing to enroll in drug treatment and was still behind bars as of Friday afternoon. Defense attorney Mark Freeman said the girl's treatment was put off while the family looked for an affordable way to pay for it. Authorities still are investigating Wanamaker and his partner Jessica Hoffman, 32, in connection to the deaths of Wanamaker's other children. A seven-month-old baby boy Tyler died of pneumonia in 2011, and there were two stillborn deliveries since 2007, one of which was linked to his Hoffman's methamphetamine abuse, prosecutors said. Wanamaker (right) and his partner Jessica Hoffman (left) 32, are also being investigated for the death of their 7-month-old baby boy in 2011. Wanamaker said that he and his partner are raising a happy, well-adjusted family that is involved in activities such as youth car racing . The mother had tested positive for meth in 2013 after arriving at the hospital with one of her still born baby Krystopher's arms already out of the birth canal, the Morning Call reported. She gave birth to another child last year. A district attorney said that he would reach a decision about further prosecutions within several weeks. Wanamaker will also pay a $750 fine to local Division of Children, Youth and Families and complete 15 hours of community service as part of his sentence. Hoffman, 32, was said to have gained back custody of her children after complying with court supervision. The father told WPVI that he and his partner are raising a happy, well-adjusted family that is involved in activities such as youth car racing. Other charges against Wanamaker have been withdrawn. Hoffman's case has been moved to June after she received a new lawyer. Arrangements are being made for the daughter to have oral surgery this summer.
