Sure Signs That Your Dentist May Not Be Qualified
There are a couple of warning signs that should warn you that your dentist may not actually be a dentist. Filthy office, no diplomas on the walls, that sort of thing. However, a surefire giveaway would be seeing a tire iron among his instruments.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A man was held Wednesday on charges that he performed dental work on customers without a license in his "filthy" garage, authorities said. Roger Bean, 60, was arrested Tuesday and held on $6,000 bond.
Bean performed denture fittings and made false teeth in his garage, charging just $200 for a full set of dentures, a procedure that typically costs more than $2,000, authorities said. But he was not licensed to practice in Florida.
Palm Beach County Sheriff's detective Don Zumpano said there were "health risks with operating this type of facility outside of your house," adding that Bean's workspace was "filthy."
I guess that means that the discount brain surgeon working out of the back of a Toyota is right out, no matter how big a discount he offers.
