In 1998, a man was arrested in Van Nuys, California for operating an unlicensed dental practice out of the back of a toy store in a strip mall.

Honestly, as someone who's lacked dental care for 15 years, while it surprises me "street dentist" is a term, what surprises me the most is that I've never considered trying to find one. Lol. I've pulled my own teeth, why did I never consider finding a shady dude to do it for me?
