There is no way to ensure a positive experience in Mexico. I know it may seem like it is more affordable<\/a>, but I want to give you some things to think about before you make a final decision. \u00a0There are some very good reasons that costs are higher in the United States. \u00a0You think about whether or not these are worth the extra cost.<\/p>\n

First, in the U.S. we have laws about sterilization of dental equipment and cleanliness of the office. You will find no such laws on the books in Mexico. \u00a0While there are plenty of dentists who would voluntarily keep things clean and sterile, it is not something I would like to wonder about when I’m about to get a procedure done.<\/p>\n

Secondly, dentists in Mexico do not have to have malpractice insurance. You might initially think that is great and just makes things more affordable for everyone all around, but ask yourslef what recourse you would have if something went wrong.<\/p>\n

That insurance actually helps protect you too. There is a system in place in Mexico for\u00a0filing complaints through the government. However, most foreigners would find the system confusing and you’d have to know all the rules and regulations. Plus, the while their government will mediate, they will not force a dentist to correct his work or refund your money, so you’ll be left holding the bag.<\/p>\n
