When you walk into a dentist’s office in California, you’re probably bracing yourself for the drill, not political drama. But one Santa Clarita dentist has taken things way beyond the usual small talk about flossing. Instead, she’s found herself in the middle of a viral scandal after openly bragging that she enjoys watching Democratic patients suffer under her care. The MAGA dentist recently had plenty of jokes about her democratic patients, and she didn’t mince words.
The dentist, identified as Dr. Harleen Grewal, works at Skyline Smiles in Santa Clarita, California. A clip of her speaking at an event recently hit TikTok and spread like wildfire across social media, and for good reason, it’s jaw-dropping.
In the TikTok video, Grewal gleefully described how she decorated her office with photos of Republican politicians and even sported a red hat that reads, “Make Your Smile Great Again,” a cheeky riff on the infamous MAGA slogan. While some patients might roll their eyes at the political décor, what came next sent shockwaves online.
California Dentist Says She Intentionally Makes Anti-MAGA Patients Suffer
According to her own words, Grewal admitted to committing outright malpractice and laughed while doing it. She explained that if a patient showed even the slightest hint of being anti-MAGA or made negative comments about Republican figures, she would deliberately dial back the nitrous oxide, a.k.a. laughing gas.
For those not in the know, nitrous oxide is used to calm patients, ease anxiety, and most importantly, reduce pain. In other words, she was allegedly making patients suffer because of their political beliefs, then lying to them about it being “normal procedure.”
This revelation sparked instant outrage. Californians and beyond flooded comment sections with disgust and disbelief. Some couldn’t believe a licensed professional would boast about something that sounds straight out of a political horror story.
Others were quick to point out the terrifying implications: if a dentist feels comfortable weaponizing pain relief against people they disagree with, what does that say about patient safety in her chair?
The Internet Is In Total Shock
Because the incident was captured at an official event, it didn’t take internet detectives long to confirm her identity. Within hours, Grewal’s workplace, professional license, and even her husband were being scrutinized.
Many users wasted no time reporting her to city and state authorities, demanding investigations and disciplinary action. After all, this wasn’t just an offhand comment, it was an admission that she was willing to inflict pain on paying patients who trusted her.
“She just ruined her career,” one person commented online. “Does she think this is an open mic?” former Bachelorette star Katie Thurston wrote in the comment section. “Is this not assault?” asked a third social media user. “Yeah thats…malpractice. no matter what side you’re on. That’s insane,” a fourth chimed in.
The story is a perfect storm of MAGA politics, medicine, and social media. In today’s polarized climate, partisan battles have invaded nearly every corner of life, but a California dentist boasting about punishing Democratic patients feels like an entirely new low. Whether Dr. Grewal keeps her license is now up to the state, but one thing’s clear: this video has made sure the whole country is watching.
