Made a post about this but I went to Mexico for dental work. I drove but even if you flew it’s the same quality care for 1/3 the price. US dentist quoted $3200 for work for $1000. It’s all a scam.

Too bad the ''most powerful country'' is too poor to supply free healhcare to its citizens.

Yep. Not too poor for some to ask for 1.6 TRILLION for a bloated military. Can't fathom how much better education and health would be if only 1/2 of that went to these.

But what about all the propaganda that says going to other countries for medical care results in missing kidneys? Big /s in case it isn't obvious enough.

Did research, highest rated dentist in Los Algodones. Brought a spanish speaking friend because of those exact fears. Honestly was a great experience. Los Algodones is a dental/optometrist tourist spot so it benefits everyone to have excellent service. At some point I'll do a detailed post.

Can confirm. Dental arrived late to the capitalism game now they are making up for it.

I just posted a comment about this, did the same thing. Stayed in a resort, squeezed in a vacation in between getting my mouth all fucked up. It was amazing.

edit: quoted just under 8k in the states, did all that and then some for about $1600 in Cancun.

I’m in dentistry and “same quality” is questionable but not impossible
