Had a friend who needed some kind of major dental work that would have cost over $20,000 in the U.S., but he went to Mexico and had it all done for $4,000, and that includes the costs of traveling and whatnot.

Yeah, but don't go to Tijuana. Go to Algodones (just across the border from Yuma, AZ). It has a very good reputation for dental work and other procedures, whereas Tijuana...

Ain’t that the truth...greedy endodontist bastards around here want a grand for a root canal.

Would you let a mechanic in Mexico work on your Porsche? If you were a pilot would you fly to Mexico to have them work on your plane? But your ok with a Mexican dentist working on your teeth which are an inch away from your brain. Let me know how it works out.

Without wanting to start a fight, isn’t that about the same as importing a worker from Mexico to take your job at one quarter wages? I’m curious if you support the border wall.

Canadians and snowbirds flock to mexico for the cheap dentistry.

My Local US dentist, 3 miles from the border, say most of his winter work is repairing bad dentistry from mexico.

He fixes bad root canals where the root material isn't completely removed and metal implements are left in the canals. His second biggest business is fixing bad implants. Third on the list is poorly fitting dentures.

All those patients get to pay twice.

A coworker went to Mexico for a combo vacation/ hair transplant.
He went back twice, did not grow.
Now bald just like the rest of us.
