Unlicensed Dental Assistant Sentenced to Prison
**HARRISBURG, PA** – Attorney General Dave Sunday announced that Rose Calese Horne, an unlicensed dental assistant, was sentenced to 18 to 36 months in prison for falsifying her qualifications, allowing her to perform advanced procedures on patients.
Horne, aged 44, from Levittown, pleaded guilty to charges of felony prohibited use of a radiation source and misdemeanor impersonation of a professional license holder. A Bucks County Judge recently sentenced her for these offenses.
Horne deceived employers by claiming she was licensed to perform tasks such as installing crowns and bridges, filing fillings, administering local anesthesia, and assisting in root canal surgeries. Attorney General Sunday stated that this deceptive behavior endangered patients and breached trust placed in professional certifications.
The investigation revealed that Horne worked with three different dentists in Bucks County from October 2022 to October 2023 under false pretenses. She conducted X-rays on five patients without the necessary training or licensure, as confirmed by the Office of Attorney General. Senior Deputy Attorney General Thomas Ost-Prisco prosecuted the case.
