Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly expressed the gravity of the situation by stating that practicing dentistry without proper authorization endangers public health and safety.
Gladys Serrano allegedly extracted five teeth from a patient who believed they were receiving legitimate dental care, but Serrano lacked any dental license.
The patient, lured by the promise of affordable dental care, ended up paying nearly $2,000 for services rendered in an unregulated kitchen environment.
Prosecutors revealed disturbing details of the operation, including used dental instruments discovered in Serrano's apartment, underscoring the severe risk this posed to patients.
