A woman in Texas was arrested for allegedly practicing without a dental license after a person complained that she removed six of her teeth without consent, according to multiple recently published news articles.
Jennie Del Carmen Lara, 50, was arrested on July 9 at her Laredo, TX, home and charged with two counts of the Texas Dentistry Act violation, which is a third-degree felony.
Police began investigating after a woman claimed that Lara agreed to remove one molar but instead removed six teeth without the woman's consent. Further investigation revealed that Lara had multiple dental clients, according to the articles.
Additionally, police have an arrest warrant for another person. That individual, who has not been identified, planned to turn themselves in at a later date, according to the articles.
