Social media is a cold world!!!









PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - A Pinellas County woman is behind bars after police said she performed dental work without a license, leaving victims in pain and in need of emergency care.



Investigators said Emely Martinez, advertised on social media as a veneer technician, promised smile makeovers. Instead, clients were left with infections, damaged teeth and hefty bills to fix the harm.

A Florida woman is accused of performing dentistry without a license and inserting veneers on patients who subsequently had to have emergency surgery.


Emely Martinez, 35, faces at least four counts of practicing dentistry without a license in two counties in the Sunshine State, along with a scheme to defraud charge.


Martinez allegedly advertised on social media under the name Itsthe Veneerlady to insert the veneers for a dramatically cheaper price than the going rate, cops said, according to a probable cause affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime. In one case, Martinez incorrectly put in the veneers, causing the patient "pain and injury," cops wrote. A real dentist had to perform "emergency dental surgery" to save her natural teeth and discovered Martinez allegedly used "nail glue" to insert the veneers.
