MCALLEN – A McAllen dentist is warning the public of the dangers of obtaining dental procedures through underground dentists.

The warning comes following a post found on the Facebook group for La Pulga Online. The post shows a man advertising dental services to people.

The services range from cleaning, to wisdom tooth removals, even root canals. Prices start at $25.

Dr. Jeffrey Alvarado said the post concerns him. He said it's putting the public in situations that can medically compromise them.

"Dental procedures are very invasive. They can lead to a lot of complications and so we want to be ready to handle this in an office. I'm not too sure how they would be handled in a home," said Dr. Alvarado.

Options exist for the low-income and uninsured. Clinics for the low-income and uninsured are available.

Some of them include: Nuestra Clinica del Valle, Hope Family Health Center, Valley Care Clinics, El Milagro Clinic and UTRGV Primary Care Clinic.
