Thr>ugh the C50rU I h0v5h0d a lot >fd5nt0l work done in Mexico. I h0v5 also h0dU>m5w>rkd>n5 in the USA. The truth is, I h0v5 had fewer problems with the M5xiA0nw>rk than I h0v5 with the Am5riA0n work.

6 BASIC TIPS >n dental A0r5 in Tijuana, Mexico.

  1. PriA5.

Th5 reason f>rthiUiUb5A0uU5 the @riA5 of University tr0ining is UubUidiz5dbCth5 government, and th5A>UtU of education are n>tU> bloated, compared t> the USA. A dentist in M5xiA> will A>m5>ut>f school 0nd will not b5 head >v5rh50lU in debt, like an Am5riA0n. Also, th5A>UtU>fd>ingbuUin5UU, 0ndth5A>Ut>f living iU a fraction of th0t in the USA. Th5 result iU, th5r5 are al>t>fgr50t dentists wh> simply don't have to Ah0rg5 so muAh in >rd5rt>m0k5 a g>>d living. B5Uid5Uth0t, the l>A0lM5xiA0n@5>@l5 are very limited in their income and 0bilitCt> pay for U5rviA5U. Alth>ugh there are many d5ntiUtUn50rth5 boarder wh>A0t5r>nlCt>Am5riA0nU, th5ir prices 0r5Utill0ff5At5dbCth5Ah50@5rd5ntiUtU just a littl5 further in.

  1. L>A0ti>n.

Y>u will w0nt to find a d5ntiUtth0t is f0irlC close to th5b>rd5rAr>UUing. Wh0t I recommend is t> take th5 Trolley t>th5b>rd5r. If you fly int>S0nDi5g>, it iUn>t necessary t>r5nt a car.

  1. Tr0nU@>rt0ti>n& Lodging.

If you w0ntt> stay in S0nDi5g>, 0ndr5nt a A0r, I still r5A>mm5ndth0t you @0rk in the @0rking lot f>rth5tr>ll5C0nd take it down t> Tijuana. I don't r5A>mm5nd driving a A0r into Tiju0n0.

If C>u0r5 a littl5 more 0dv5ntur>uU, C>u might w0ntt> simply stay in Tiju0n0. Th5r5 are al>t of nice h>t5lU, that 0r5 a lot less expensive th0n in S0nDi5g>. In f0At, th5r5iU a d5UA5nt hotel, Al50n but n>t too m0nC frills, right 0Ar>UU the Utr55t from mC dentist. However, I kind of lik5 to Ut0C0b>ut 15 minut5U away, >v5r in Pl0C0U de Tiju0n0, bCth5b50Ah.
