00:00Be careful and make sure that the dentist you are going to is licensed.

00:05It might be cheap and you might get in trouble for a dental procedure

00:09like the one being done by a Nasacoting suspect in Cotabato.

00:13Jun Veneracion, for TUTOK.

00:17What do you call that?

00:18White cleaning.

00:19Ah, white cleaning.

00:21Dental cleaning on the side of the river?

00:23That's what the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group discovered

00:26when they conducted an intrepid operation in Cotabato City.

00:29And what the clinic was doing,

00:31it was a pecking dentist.

00:33What he didn't know,

00:34it was the police that he was cleaning.

00:37At least the PNP should be white.

00:39After the cleaning,

00:41the pecking dentist was supposed to put braces.

00:44This is where the other policemen came out.

00:46Yes, we are arresting this illegal practice of dentistry.

00:50The list of licensed dentists of the Philippine Dental Association of Suspects is not included in the list.

00:55According to the investigation,

00:56this is the assistant of a real dentist

00:59before he started providing dental services on social media.

01:03The services that he offers,

01:05dental services,

01:07is first the cleaning and also putting braces.

01:11This is priced at Php 1,000,

01:15including the materials and labor.

01:18Aside from being cheap,

01:19there is also a discount,

01:20that's why a lot of pecking dentists are already involved.

01:24The patients who posted on his social media account

01:28that his hands were infected are proven here.

01:30What we also saw during the operation

01:32is the hygiene that this fake dentist is doing.

01:37He is just sterilizing the items in hot water

01:41that should not be done by a real dentist.

01:45The suspect is facing charges of violation of the Philippine Dental Act of 2007,

01:50Code 9 of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

01:53We are still trying to get hold of the suspect.

01:56According to a dentist,

01:58a lot of bad things can happen

02:00if a patient trusts his teeth to the wrong person.

02:05Possibly, their patients are infected with diseases from other people

02:10or they are not the ones who are infected.

02:13Aside from the suspect being arrested,

02:15there are other pecking dentists online

02:17that are being monitored by the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group.

02:20They are warning the public to be wary

02:23if the service is too cheap.
