How going to Mexico for Cheap Dental Work can Ease your Pain!

Laguna Bacalar in Mexico

Imagine my shock when I went to the dentist in Corado and the estimate for the work I needed was $13,000 – $15,000!  And that was WITH insurance.  I had two teeth that were bothering me, but the dentist said 6 teeth needed work.  I got estimates for root canals, implants, and bone grafts.

As my teeth continued to get worse and even developing abscesses, I knew I would have to do something soon.  And this is when my tropical dental vacation planning began.
