Juanetta Solomon Texas woman out on probation for previous felony violations wanted for practising dentistry without a license, causing one patient to have her teeth fall out after agreeing to dental surgery in Houston after coming across her advertised services on TikTok.
Texas authorities are seeking the whereabouts of a Katy woman alleged to have practised as a dentist and injured patients without a license after advertising her services on TikTok.
Juanetta Solomon, 41, is accused of having acted as a dentist without a license that caused harm to patients. She accepted patients under the practice of ISmilez Cosmetic Designz in Houston.
In one instance the fake dentist caused serious damage to a client’s teeth after she inserted a veneer into the patient’s mouth without making a mold first according to KRTK.
The victim told police she was on TikTok in late March when she came across a video from the account ‘Tha_Toothly_Houston.’ She asked about an appointment to get her teeth fixed and was directed to make an appointment with I Smilez Cosmetic Designz, according to a criminal affidavit.
The victim sent the ‘dentist’ four photos that included her front, left, and right sides of her mouth along with another one of her smiling. The ‘would be dentist’ sent the woman a quote for $1,000 to replace eight bottom teeth and eight front teeth, plus $350 for a bridge, police wrote. On March 30, the patient went to the fake dentist office in Houston where she met a woman who identified herself as ‘Nikki Calloway,’ according to a criminal complaint. She later identified Calloway as Solomon.
Solomon did not make a mold of her teeth or mouth but ‘instead applied the composite veneers and bridge, using a lot of pressure and chemicals that made the patient so dizzy that she had to ask the defendant to stop and give her a break,’ cops wrote. Solomon allegedly then used tools, described as a ‘drill and file’ to shape the material placed in the teeth.
‘Complainant stated she had trouble closing her mouth and asked defendant to make them thinner because they are too big and uncomfortable,’ the affidavit cited by lawandcrime stated.
In the ensuing days the victim had trouble sleeping because of the pain in her mouth, according to cops. About a week later, she reportedly called Solomon and requested help because her mouth was bleeding. One of her teeth also fell out.
Solomon allegedly didn’t show up to a follow-up appointment for the patient’s pain and bleeding despite the patient already having forked out nearly $2,000. It is then that the patient reached out to police.
Detectives confirmed with the director of investigations for the Texas Board of Dental Examiners that Solomon does not have a license to practice dentistry, nor is she a hygienist or assistant, per the affidavit. Investigators identified Solomon of the owner of I Smilez Cosmetic Designz and issued an arrest warrant on Aug. 30, KHOU reported.
It remained unclear what training, if any, Solomon had as a dentist.
Of note, this is not Solomon’s first foray with the law, with Solomon being out on bond for felony in possession of a weapon. In 2016 she was convicted of a felony offense of delivery of a controlled substance back in December 2016 and then accused of shooting at her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend in July 2023.
Solomon has yet to be arrested and landed herself on the latest Fugitive Friday list by Crime Stoppers of Houston. Anyone with information is asked to call 713-222-8477.
