There is sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction of the offense of practicing dentistry without a license where it appears that the defendant cleaned a patient’s teeth, removed tartar therefrom, and made an examination for the purpose of estimating the cost of further treatment.</p> <p>Trial — Assignment—Discretion oe. Court — Review. The manner of assigning a case on the trial docket is within the discretion of the trial court, and not to be reviewed except for abuse thereof.</p> <p>Criminal Law — Trial—Time eor Plea — Waiver oe Objection.
