In the US, a woman without a license treated patients' teeth in the kitchen of her apartment.
A Long Island woman has turned her kitchen into an illegal dentist's office.
A 70-year-old American woman pulled five teeth from a gullible patient who paid her almost $2,000, according to an article in the New York Post .
Prosecutors say practicing dentistry without a license in inappropriate conditions is dangerous to health.
Nassau County District Attorney Ann T. Donnelly said the woman converted a one-bedroom apartment into an illegal dental office.
A fake dentist told a patient she needed to have five rotting teeth removed.
After the manipulations, the woman gave the visitor paper towels and advised her to rinse her mouth with salt water.
The police arrested the fake doctor. During a search of her home, they found a chair near the sink and instruments for extracting teeth.
It also emerged that the woman was performing dental procedures without a license.
A criminal case has been opened against the American. If found guilty, she could face up to 4 years in prison.
