4. Time frame required.

I have made several trips to Mexico and had root canals and crowns done in just 5 days. I have had crowns, with no root canal required, done in 2 days. It costs a little more to have the lab expedite the work, and it is tiring to sit for a long time in the chair having everything done at once, but it is possible and worth it. However, I have to say that in order to figure out how long it will take, the dentist has to check out what needs to be done. If you have a tooth that is infected, you have to get the infection cleared up before a root canal can be performed. Nevertheless, the dentist can get give you a good idea of how much time you need to budget when she talks to you on the phone. If you live in the San Diego or L.A. area, it is a lot easier to go across the border for multiple visits. But if you are flying in, you’ll want to budget enough time to get it all done. There are many US citizens who are going on medical vacations to Mexico today. Last time I was in Tijuana, we had a couple of days to spare and so we went down to Ensenada. I’d like to go down and do some fishing in the ocean off a boat next time.

5. Get your travel documents in order.

To Enter Mexico, fom the Mexican standpoint, there is no problem. The Mexican Customs will not ask you for anything. It is coming back into the USA that requires the documents.  Although as of June 1, 2009 th US Customs will ask you for a US passport, in practice, they will still let you cross back into the USA, just like before, he border as long as you have 1. proof of identity, using a government issued photo I.D. , such as a State issued drivers license or I.D. card, and 2. proof of citizenship such as a U.S. birth certificate.  There will come a time when US customs will begin to enforce the new rule, so it is good to get a U.S. passport, but don’t be overly concerned if you have a dental emergency. If you live in San Diego or L.A., you’re good to go, with your California Drivers license and your birth certificate, for the time being. My dentist in Tijuana has had patients every week who cross back and forth across the border without a passport, without any problems.

6. Funds.

This is an important point that I don’t want to forget. It is not necessary to travel with a lot of cash to Mexico. I only take a couple of hundred dollars in my wallet. Dollars are as accepted as Mexican pesos for the purposes of purchasing things. However, sometimes you’ll get a better exchange rate changing some of your money at a “Cambio” store front. But what I do is simply bring my ATM card and get cash at any banks ATM machine. The exchange rate at the ATM is usually pretty good. You can use your VISA or MASTERCARD to pay for hotels, and most restaurants. I use cash just to pay for small things like taxis, or food at a taco stand or a hamburger joint. Some dentists will even accept your credit card for payment. I know mine does. I have found that the amount charged to my card has been at a good exchange rate in dollars.

The dentist that I recommend is Sam Dental in Tijuana, Mexico, located just South of San Diego, CA. They are extremely honest, very capable, have very low prices, and they guarantee their work.
