Florida woman arrested for setting up dentistry practice in her garage, police say
Florida officials have arrested a woman for allegedly practicing dentistry in a garage she converted into an office with a drill set and black reclining chair. Rosa Maria Toledo, 56, was arrested Tuesday. In her garage deputies found a cabinet containing dental castings, molds, dental crown glues, partial dentures and bridges.
They said she had a ledger containing information for hundreds of patients. Deputies said they had information she had practiced as a dentist in Mexico before moving to the U.S.
Toledo was charged with practicing dental hygiene without an active license and being a non-licensed person leasing or operating dental equipment.
