In the recent years, the cost of dental work has escalated in the US and quite a few Americans cannot pay for it. The Federal Reserve’s report on the Well-Being of U.S. Households states that nearly 25% of the individuals could not afford to visit the dentist due to the costs involved1.
For such individuals, dental care in Mexico becomes a viable and an attractive option. If you are wondering how much dental work south of the border is, it is just about a fraction of the US prices.
