PHARMACISTS in the Czech Republic are probably out of stock on painkillers, thanks to a fake dentist who decided to open a surgery in his home.
According to the BBC, police have charged a 22-year-old man and two siblings after they allegedly performed root canal on patients using instructions they read online.
The trio live in the Czech Republic town of Havlickuv Brod and spent the better part of two years treating people without any professional qualifications.
The fake dentist is understood to have extracted teeth, applied anaesthesia and performed complex root canal procedures, all derived from online guides.
While police didn't say whether any of their patients actually complained about the service received, the trio now face up to eight years in jail after being found guilty.
According to the president of the Czech dental chamber, Roman Smucler, around 10 cases of fake dentists are reported to him every year.
