I do live in SoCal, so it’s not a crazy idea... Really hoping it won’t come to a potentially expensive surgery or Mexico though.

    I live in IB. All my neighbors get their dentistry done in TJ. Apparently a $1600 crown here is only $200 in TJ

    That’s actually a really good deal, better than I expected. 🤔

    I had a cavity filled for 20 bucks in Mexico. Granted it was in zacatecas which is central Mexico but the dentist was reputable. He got his license in new York and also practices in new York. He's from that small town so he travels there a couple months a year and offers very cheap dental work for locals since he's from there and wants to give back to the community that helped him. Def check out tj or rosarito if you can though.

    Damn, that’s an amazing price. That was recent there?? And I like the idea he’s giving back.

    When living in MX, my wife had a wisdom tooth removed. Cost me about $300, done at the hospital, no long term issues.

    My parents used to winter in Arizona. They told me many of their neighbors used to go to Mexico for dental care, but allegedly Mexico (I would think America but my dad said Mexico) is trying to put a stop to folks crossing the border for this kind of care.
