A better option is Hungary. Also no Muzzies or drug cartels.

There are about twice as many Muslims in Hungary as in Mexico. Considering the population of Mexico is twelve times greater, the percentage in Mexico is much less.

Not dental, but seven years ago I went to Algodones MX, got an eye exam and 3 pairs of glasses that were perfect, all for under $300.

Two years ago, I went to my local optometrist, and after the $110 exam, they wanted $600+ PER LENS! I about had a bird.

A root canal isn’t that expensive. This is crazy.

I have heard about Hungary being good. I don’t need anything big right now, so hopefully I don’t need to find out.

I had a cap put on in Algondones. I was in a hurry, and they were available.

They broke a drill off in the tooth and did not tell me. Then the put the cap on over it, a month later (temporary cap in between).

I ended up spending three times as much for American care to fix the problem, but ended up losing the tooth anyway.

I won’t be going to Mexico for dental care anymore.

I asked the specialist who attempted to remove the broken drill bit, what the success rate was.

He said: I was able to remove 4 of the five that came in during the last month.

Yuma, where I was, is on the border, of course.

So, yes, it is a crap shoot, and you have no recourse for bungled care.

I’m afraid the same kind of care is offered in parking lots and cheap apartments in the areas where the crimmigrand tend to collect.

My dentist of 26 years is in Yuma. He told me the bulk of his work is with the snowbirds fixing the damage caused in Mexico.

As for me, I think you can tell when the snowbirds have been to Mexico for dental work. No two teeth visible in a smile, are the same size, shape or color as another. Also their gums always look red and angry.

The dentist I went to in Algondoes was supposedly the most experienced and reliable.

I suspect I was treated by a an apprentice that was learning on unsuspecting patients.

As a comparison, I had good care done in Panama while I was there.

My Mom lives in Yuma half the year. I was considering some dental work in Mexico when we visit her next month.

I have acquired several broken molars over the years. Don’t want dentures if I can help it.

Also their gums always look red and angry.

Is that a bug or a feature?

Whatever Muslims are in Hungary have been pacified.
