Woman Gets Five Teeth Pulled By Man Posing As a Dentist
LatestA Texan woman named Erika Martinez found herself in possession of painful toothaches but no dental insurance to match. Short on cash, she received a reference from a Facebook friend for a man named Mario Sabillon-Mejia, who claimed to be a dentist from Honduras.
During a procedure done in Martinez’s home, Sabillon-Mejia, along with a woman claiming to be his assistant, removed a total of five teeth from her mouth. As Sabillion-Mejia was not actually a dentist, Martinez ended up suffering from a severe infection and filed a report with the Dallas Police Department. Sabillon-Mejia and his “assistant” Tiffany Gonzales were arrested and charged with practicing medicine without a license and misdemeanor possession of dangerous drugs.
