If you thought leaving the dentist's office with a numb lip and a big bill was a pain in the ass, at least you, like, weren't escorted out by a Bahamian police raid!

(Or maybe you were. In 2016, I resolve to work on presumptuousness.)

Lenny Kravitz, famous in 2015 for accidentally showing Swedish rock fans his penis, found himself in some oral hygiene-related hot water recently, and we're not just talking progressive gum recession or the skirting of a sensible flossing routine. According to Page Six, police recently broke up a free dental clinic for locals featuring American professionals that Kravitz had sponsored in the Bahamas' Gregory Town. Evidently, the singer hadn't sought out the necessary permits, and when police caught wind of the operation, they — alongside immigration officials — stormed the area, stopped all root canals and fluoride rinses and told everyone to hit the road.

"The dentists literally had to run out the back door to escape being arrested,” a source told the site.

Kravitz has been a longtime resident of the area, the site says, and his Let Love Rule foundation moves to provide locals with necessary aid. He declined to speak to the site, perhaps the consequence of an interrupted root canal. How unnerving...
