Mexico is a top destination for so-called medical tourists from the United States who go South of the Border for significantly cheaper dental work,

B.S. the only way this is true is maybe its illegals in the US going back to Mexico for dental work. The dental work in Mexico is crap and nobody would go their to get it done if they were financially able to get it done in the US.

“if they were financially able to get it done in the US.”

There’s your answer.

Before getting dental work done in Mexico I’d recall the one and only Oriental rip off DVD I ever saw. A good friend of mine bought it in Hong Kong for $2.00 and it had fake U.S. logos and packaging. Then I watched it and found out why it cost only $2.00, less than half the price of renting the real Hollywood product. It was made by setting a camcorder up in the back of a theater and recording the movie off the screen. Along with the poor color quality and focus there were periodic images of people’s heads moving back and forth in front of the screen. All in all it was a great advertisement for paying the leal price for the real, copyrighted product.

that is a general statement... i know people who regularly get dental and medical care in Mexico, and it is not crap... and it is much cheaper... personally, i get my Retin-A from there, and it works really well...

That depends on the dentist. I have a dentist in Mexico and he is excellent, far better than the American dentist my hubby goes to. Thank goodness I have not had to go to him since the cartel war has been so bad.

There are excellent dentists, doctors, and such in Mexico but you have to get someone to refer you to a good one because there are many that are terrible. Funny thing I have found is that usually the worst are in the fancy buildings catering to the tourists and the good ones have an office that looks pretty rustic and is usually further from the border.
