    Anyone gotten dental work done in Mexico?

    I don't have insurance, and it looks like I need a root canal and a crown. The prices I'm seeing around here make me think I can take a vacation to either Tijuana or Los Algodones, and still come out way ahead on the deal. Anyone done it? Recommendations?

    Offensive/TOS-violating posts: Do you report it, or not?
