SAN ANTONIO -- A man is facing charges for illegally running a dental clinic.

The man, 47-year-old Angel Celedon, is charged with practicing dentistry without a state license. A patient and other doctors alerted the Texas Board of Dental Examiners about his home-based clinic.

Celedon's business has also been at the center of numerous code compliance complaints.

This man needs to go to prison! A bad dentist can cause people to have permanent health problems not the least of which, PAIN. There are very good reasons why we have strict medical rules in the USA. And you should all thank god for them!

I guess this guy thinks the same as the illegals...they don't think that they have to sign the book and pay taxes, even though everyone else did. It's that same sense of self-entitlement that you see when Mexican Nationals (the ones with money) come shopping over here. They are rude, cut infront of you, and act like they are bada** cause they ar espending some money here. They think they ar eso lofty cause over there, they are considered ritch and everyone in their hometown kisses their backsides so they expect the same when they are here. They fail to realize that though they are considered "ritch" financially in Mexico, that is equal to the average "middle class" person here so they aren't all that they think they are. I'd rather then not spend any money here and go visit Cuba or Puerto Rico...go be rude over there not here.

yeah rambO, I was born with a silver spoon and thats why I decided to join the military and stay f0r over 20 years. This guy is nothing more than a CRIMINAL, if he knew his stuff, get a license and do it the right way but he obviously is not as bright as you paint him to be or he is a CRIMINAL ALIEN. Either was good thing they shut this lying, cheating SOB down.

Freehole-the sad thing about your idea is I'm sure it's been done somewhere, somehow. And who's to say that this dental clinic wasn't doing the same thing? The do give Nitris Oxide (sp??) at the dentist! LOL! Thank goodness I have dental insurance for me and mine.

rambO, you can try and justify it all you want, but the guy is breaking the law. The law requires that these people be board certified and have the propper permits due to safety reasons. In Mexico, way more people get infections and die versus how it is here cause we regulate facilities to ensure sanatary conditions. Some facilities here slip by, that is true, but no where near the number sas seen in mexico and Central/South America. That being said, if you want to go see an unlicensed Dr. in a makeshift clinic just to save a few $$$, then be my guest, its your health at risk, not mine. But no matter how you cut it, he broke the law and therefore IS a criminal and he got what he deserved. End of Line.

simpsonfan...that's a great idea! I'll open a gyno-obstetric little clinic to make some money, have some fun, and then make some more money posting videos of my "practice" on YouTube.

simpsonfan91 - 9/3/2010 8:45 AM
Oh come on! It was a dental clinic, not a gyno. clinic. Sheesh.

MK Ultra & Airforceret.. maybe you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, and God knows where else I refuse to mention.. Which would lead me to believe, you had everything handed to you on a silver platter, judging by your "intellectual" cander, your parents must've paid for your braces, health and everything and anything under the sun. But if you have set of skills and can utilize em to the best of your sbility, even if it's to help people..Hey more power to you..This guy knew his stuff, and unlike your kind most people can't afford dental care, EVEN with insurance.. Myself I'm sick of everytime I go to the dentist, it feels like going to a damn dealership offering upgrades and crap like that when all I NEED is a simple cleaning and/or check up. I hope there are more like him out there!! Power to the people!
