A fake dentist filled a bad tooth and then pulled out a healthy one in Baja.

A man is facing charges for performing dental procedures without a license in Bács-Kiskun County. He posed as a dentist while working as a dental technician from summer 2023 to November 2024. The accused administered local anesthesia, drilled and filled teeth, and placed bridges, committing several malpractice incidents. In one case, he mistakenly filled the wrong tooth and extracted a healthy one instead of the problematic one. He also illegally obtained blank prescriptions from a licensed dentist to prescribe antibiotics. The prosecution is seeking a suspended prison sentence for the man charged with unauthorized medical practice and using false private documents.
