Check out dental schools. Usually they'll do it super discounted or sometimes free.

im not so sure id be looking for a cafords 2010 dental hookup but if your desperate and the members here are all you have, i wish you well.
The season'd approach on the other hand, would be to grab the phone book and start calling.
Good luck & hope it doesn't hurt too bad...i mean when they start pulling and twisting ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

ud be surprised that many americans that live near the border towns actually go through us agencies that work closely with reputable mexican dentists for dental work even offering transport and guides to clinics in mexico and return service.
its becoming more common due to the big business it generates for the agency and dentist in mexico which then helps drive up the competition to help provide better service. it probably wouldnt make sense to do that from frisco but if u lived further south it may make total sense when u weigh the total cost benefit along w/ the lower risk

Well i was just joking but in all seriousness i feel for you. It hurts like hell im sure.
Years ago i didn't have dental insurance and had to cash up and have a tooth pulled..RIGHT NOW!
i kept putting it off until i couldn't stand it anymore but once it came out holy crap what relief.

That's where my parents go, they're self employees and don't pay the ridiculous money on medical insurance you'd pay out here for the same or better professionalism, A plane ticket, a couple of days vacationing down there is still cheaper than what you'd pay out here and this is for general health not just dentist.......

I see the great work from Mexico all the time. I am sure there is some good work being done but everything I have seen has been bad root canals and crowns. There is an accredited school in Mexico now that you can come to the US fully licensed.
As far as the extractions it depends on the type. Are you looking for all 4 or just the 1? Did they tell you if it was full bony impacted, partial bony, soft tissue impacted, is the nerve or sinus running through the roots. Do you want to be knocked out or you do not mind hearing the cracking noise and it comes out? I have a good oral surgeon but would need to know what typw of extraction it is. Did they do a Pano xray on you?
