I know, I know.  This should be a no-brainer, but.....

If your dentist is operating out of his car, he may not be legit. Just saying.

A guy known as “El Dentista” was arrested in New Mexico after he was caught performing illegal dental procedures out of the back of his car.

Eliver Kestler, also known as Eliver Lopez or "El Dentista", was found with a portable drill machine and other dental equipment in his car last month.

He told police he had a dentistry license in Mexico but not in the United States.  One of his patients told investigators she had teeth removed by Kestler but he never gave her the replacements!

Police are looking for other victims in order to build a strong case against him.
