In Plano, TX, investigators recently discovered a number of dental tools like an x-ray machine, grinders, syringes, surgical instruments and aesthetics - in a man's private ranch home!

Yahoo! News reports that 63-year-old Jose Santiago Delao had been running an underground dental clinic out of his home for years - pulling teeth, filling cavities and other procedures. Delao, a trained dental lab technician, felt he was doing a favor for those who needed help. "It broke my heart," he said in an interview from the jailhouse, "because I have the experience."

However, Delao's unofficial dental facility's days were numbered one a woman he had worked on complained to police about a $75 molar repair that had left her unable to open her mouth and caused a clicking sound in her ear for several days. Soon after, several other allegations of abuses were raised.
