    That was not remotely based on reality... well maybe Jennifer Anniston was
    Border dental clincs are right up by the Border crossing. One by Yuma is first block. Mexicali much the same first block or two, as with town below Columbus New Mexico.

    They have " technology" to do quality dental work in other countries. The thing is you need to stay there for a few months in case there's an y issues you are close by.First they may surgically cut teeth out, then there's a "gestation " period to heal from that...Then putting the posts in...then later the actually screw on teeth. Depending on what procedures you have done. Brazil is really good too. Had a cousin that moved in with this parents in Ecuador. He was 40 years old ,stayed a few months and had all kinds of stuff done ...for Cheap. $1400. Would have been like 8k in the US. I think it's a good idea. JMO

    Yes but. Mexican pharmacies often don't require a prescription to sell you the medicine. But, The Customs/Border officer can disallow your prescription drugs you bring back into the US from Mexico if you don't have a prescription from a Doc in the US.

    With evetybody drinking boutique bottled water many people may accidentally/deliberately be avoiding flouride they used to get ftom tap water. I deliberately only drink bottled water from municipal sources. i.e bottled tap water for that reason. I also started using a Sonicare toothbrush about the time zi started trucking. The first time you use one, even after you just used a manual toothbrush, your teeth will feel like they have been sterilized. Sonicare uses sound waves to clean your teeth.

    From what I've seen it's very different in Mexico depending on whether you visit just across from Laredo & El Paso or whether you visit across from Yuma & San Diego.

    Seems to be. The nafta corridor is much more hostile.
