Fake Dentist Allegedly Pulled Teeth Without Anesthesia
Ed Mazza
A Florida man was arrested last week for allegedly posing as a dentist and performing dental work from a reclining chair in his living room ― including making dentures and removing teeth, which police say he sometimes did without anesthesia.
Robert “Robbie” Rheinlander, 53, is accused of working for cash from his home and the homes of his patients, according to WFLA, the NBC station in Tampa.
One victim, Rachel Potter, claimed Rheinlander pulled 11 teeth, the station said, citing a police report. In one case, he left part of the tooth in the jaw, she told police. Her husband, James Potter, also had multiple teeth pulled and developed dry socket after one procedure, the station reported.
Only later, when the couple tried to search for Rheinlander online, did they learn he was not a real dentist, local ABC station WFTS said.
The station said another man had 10 teeth removed, and Rheinlander’s low rates had saved him $1,800.
The Bradenton Herald reported that Rheinlander had claimed he was a dentist in South Carolina, where he had lived previously. However, he was only licensed there as a dental technician from February 2004 to March 2006, and had been “disciplined” by the South Carolina Board of Dentistry during that time. The paper did not specify what Rheinlander had been penalized for.
Rheinlander has been charged with practicing dentistry without a license and was released on Thursday on $1,500 bond, according to records from the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.

Teams have made their big splashes in free agency and made their draft picks, it's time for you to do the same. It's fantasy football mock draft time. Some call this time of year best ball season, others know it's an opportunity to get a leg up on your competition for when you have to draft in August. The staff at Yahoo Fantasy did their first mock draft of the 2024 season to help you with the latter. Matt Harmon and Andy Behrens are here to break it all down by each round and crush some staff members in the process.
It’s key to note that we’re not saying the “best team” or “best roster.” Instead, we’re talking about the best confluence of factors that can outline a path for survival and then success.
With free agency and the draft behind us, what 32 teams look like today will likely be what they look like Week 1 and beyond for the 2024 season. Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski reveal the post-draft fantasy power rankings. The duo break down the rankings in six tiers: Elite offensive ecosystems, teams on the cusp of being complete mixed bag ecosystems, offensive ecosystems with something to prove, offenses that could go either way, and offenses that are best to stay away from in fantasy.
