HOUSTON — A Katy woman was arrested on Tuesday, Oct. 22, because Houston police say she's been posing as a dentist.
Angelica Vivas, 46, is charged with two counts of dentistry act violation.
According to court documents, Vivas performed a complex root canal on a woman even though she was not a licensed dentist.
The woman told investigators that she "suffered a tremendous amount of pain."
Court documents say Vivas also offered to perform dental work on an undercover officer investigating the case.
It's not clear if there are other victims.
Vivas was released from jail after posting a $50,000 bond.
