Mexican dentists

[Lipets]

Going to be in south Texas in Aug and was thinking about having some dental work done there.

I see the area across Weslaco has like 100 dentists.

Any recommendations?


Or other info.

As was your post.

I had a couple friends go to Los Algodones to have their teeth cleaned.

The procedures took less than 15 minutes.

I will let you decide if that is good dental work.

A friend of mine tells me that Americans are all right wing, goose stepping, gun toting red necks with grade three educations. My friend is an idiot, how about yours.

Seriously. Just spouting off hear-say on an international board like RV.net is insensitive and un called for. Go find a hate Mexico board.

My friend has had dental worth in Mexico a couple of times so they flew from Seattle to Casa Grande to travel to Algodones with a friend to finish the work. He told the story about what happened. It was horrible and was told if you come back we will find a different dentist for you. Good luck folks it your mouth. My wife had a close call will death from a med she bought and I had a terrible pair of glasses made with the cheapest of frames and lens.

chevman PS we do know some with better experiennces and more with not good ones

"Some American dentists practice there to avoid the US insurance fiasco"

Maybe you can elaborate on this "fiasco". The Dental Industry has been very good at self regulating and does NOT have the problems that the Medical Industry does in the US.

If people want to risk their health over a few bucks have at it. Knowing what I know and have seen building Dental Clinics for 30 years the trip across the boarder would NOT be for me.

He didn't say there are not good dentists in Mexico, he said there are also a lot fakes!

Balony.

Lots of good dentists there. Some American dentists practice there to avoid the US insurance fiasco, it's a cash business in MX.
