An unlicensed dental clinic operating out of a private residence in Bratislava's Staré Mesto district has been shut down after eight years of clandestine operations.

According to Hetq, Slovak authorities discovered the illegal operation and took action against those involved. The case highlights ongoing issues with unlicensed medical practitioners operating in Central Europe. Details regarding charges, penalties, and the number of patients treated remain under investigation by Slovak authorities.
The incident underscores the importance of regulatory oversight in healthcare and the risks posed to patients seeking treatment from unqualified practitioners.
