North Port woman is arrested for allegedly practicing dental hygiene in her home and without a license

By Francesco Abbruzzino

It was reported that Ekaterina Seletskaya was allegedly practicing dentistry out of her home in North Port.   Her business allegedly came from word of mouth in the strong Ukraine and Russian community near Warm Mineral Springs.   Ekaterina was a dentist while in Russia and has built up a following now that she is in North Port.

Based upon photo and video evidence, Ekaterina has a room that is set up with a dental chair, swing arm lamp and other equipment that is needed to perform dentistry.  The police were able to geo-locate the incident location via the video that was taken.  A search warrant was served and they did obtain several dentistry items, however the room was repainted and some of the equipment in the video and pictures were no longer there.

Ekaterina was questioned and admitted that she was a dentist in Russia, but that she is not practicing in the US because she would need a license.  She denied having the equipment set up in her home and said that when people come to her for their teeth, she advices them to seek out a dentist.   The denial continued even though the police showed her pictures of alleged dental equipment within her home.
