Man Accused of Dental Work in Garage

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A man was held Wednesday on charges that he performed dental work on customers without a license in his "filthy" garage, authorities said. Roger Bean, 60, was arrested Tuesday and held on $6,000 bond.

Bean performed denture fittings and made false teeth in his garage, charging just $200 for a full set of dentures, a procedure that typically costs more than $2,000, authorities said. But he was not licensed to practice in Florida.

Palm Beach County Sheriff's detective Don Zumpano said there were "health risks with operating this type of facility outside of your house," adding that Bean's workspace was "filthy."

Neighbors and clients, however, praised Bean for saving them thousands of dollars.

Ron St. Mary, 73, head of the neighborhood crime watch, said Bean is no criminal.

"He's helping the old people who don't have a few dollars," he said. "I think the world of him."

It was not immediately clear if Bean had an attorney.

[dentstudent]

[Prosthoman]

what about doing a dentistry and fixing a car too..LOL

 

[dentstudent]

whats so funny in it.Its kinda frustrating that there are illegal dentists out there and people go to them cos they wanna save $$$$.If u can do this openly and make a million dollars why do u even need a degree

 

[Prosthoman]

you right,
but is it worth it going to prison? or not being able to practice anymore, or not being able to get a license? I don't think some people think before doing something. To me it was funny and at the same time as you said, is frustrating.

 

[DENTZY]

what about doing a dentistry and fixing a car too..LOL

Surprising that some international people who barely know a thing about a new country ,come & dare do such things with no fear of law..
While we(myself being an international)& all others on this forum slog so hard to know how to fit into the U.S system.
But I firmly believe, a lie may be more tempting & rewarding for a certain span of time, but it is honesty & hard work that takes you places in life.
So my fellow SDNers....keep working towards your goal.

Part of his armamentaria might have included:

Hygiene/Prophy:

1. Telescoping mirror.

2. "Trouble light"--the kind you hook up to the car's open hood.

3. Wet/Dry Shop Vac--of course! for high velocity evacuation

4. Dremel tool with an assortment of brush attachments--for tooth polishing (he is still trying to figure out how to use the orbital sander)

5. Comet with a bit of Colgate as polishing paste.

Surgery:

1. Pliers for extraction (He'd use the needle nosed one for fractured roots). We know that.

2. An assortment of screwdrivers for surgical elevators.

3. A big 10 lb pack of "Bag of Rags" to be used as gauze.

4. Rubber mallet for sedation anesthesia--side effect is that patient will wake up with a large bump on his head.

5. Box cutter for his scalpel. For more delicate surgery, he'd fish out his set of X-acto knives.

6. Electric drill

Resto:

1. He uses the latest technique called "Airbrasive"--using his sand blaster.

2. Steel filled epoxy for "Amalgam Fillings"

3. Spackling paste for temporary fillings.

4. A laser pointer to cure his composites. This also doubles as a transilluminating device.

5. Bondo filler for veneers. He'd finish the job off with a can of ivory colored spray paint.

6. Paint stripper for etching enamel, 5 minute clear epoxy for bonding and then Bondo for restorative material. BTW, before applying these restoratives, he needs to remove contaminants such as blood, debris and handpiece oil from teeth. Gasoline does the trick.

Endo:

1. Voltage multimeter and circuit tester for pulp testing and apex location.

2. Assortment of drills for files and reamers. Note: these are handheld and not be used with the electric drill or dremel hand piece.

3. Bondo again! for filling material.

4. Irrigants? He walks to the laundry area and gets a scoop of Oxy Clean then mixes it with water--voila! a wicked Hydrogen Peroxide solution! Of course you know where he'd find some Sodium Hypochlorite--it's next to the detergent in the bottle labled "Clorox".

Prostho:

1. Borrows wife's pressure cooker to cure acrylic

2. "Gorilla Glue" to repair dentures ("Superglue is too toxic", he says. "Cyanoacrylicate: cyano=cyanide=poison").

3. Gasket maker to take preliminary impressions ("It contains shellac too, like compound!")

4. Runs to the kitchen to get some Jello for alginate impressions.

5. Finishes dentures with a pumice stick--the one he uses to remove rust stains from his toilet bowl.

6. Borrow's wife's spatula and bowls to mix plaster.

7. For more detailed impressions, such as for crowns, he uses leftover caulking material. ("It is silicone too, you know--and it comes with its own dispenser gun")


In between patients he washes and disinfects his hands with Orange Goop.

I'm afraid to ask how much time you spent putting this together, but it's pretty funny.

I would certainly like to obtain the right to this compilation. I would like to put out a brochure called " A definitive guide to garage dentistry" to be published. DP

When I click on it on the video link, it blocks me because of "pornographic content". Is that what the video is about or is it a legitimate link about rural dentistry? DP

ivorie you made us really laugh , dude wondering if we could also use the car seat as a dental chair...... you split my side... nice one ivorie

The video itself is not pornographic. It shows a bunch of old drunkards who convinced some poor fellow to have his tooth pulled out with a pair of pliers by the "dentist". Really funny expecially when you hear the tooth fracture. Awwww!!! There are links to adult video chat rooms and stuff, but I wouldn't click on them if I were you (well, unless you are into that). Sorry if you have been offended.
