Ekaterina Seletskaya, 42, faces felony charges of practicing dental hygiene service without a license and offering dental assistant services outside of a licensed dental office, according to court records cited by the North Port Sun..
On Oct. 31, investigators learned Ms. Seletskaya was providing dental services from her home, the report said. Authorities saw photos of a reclining dental chair, swing lamp and other dental equipment in her home, the report said. However, when police obtained a search warrant, the chair was gone and the room was painted.
