For Sgt. Denise Nestor, prevention is a family affair. Not just for her, but for all families.

"They said the gator was snapping at cars in front of the dentist office," said Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Spokesperson Cristen Rensel, referring to the person who called 911 early Tuesday morning.
Ever come across a snarly, 10-foot-long alligator? A cranky whopper-of-a-gator made its way to the parking lot of an East Lake office complex early Tuesday morning, prompting someone to call 911. "They said the gator was snapping at cars in front of the dentist office," said Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Spokesperson Cristen Rensel. The 911 call came in around 5:56 when it was still dark out, which probably made the sight of a 10-foot-long gator in the parking lot of Prestige Dentistry even scarier. Prestige Dentistry is located at 4140 Woodlands Parkway, which is right off East Lake Road's business route. A couple of Pinellas County Sheriff's Deputies responded to the call along with officers from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation…
