“British patients are not the only ones going elsewhere for cheap dental treatment – Americans are now heading to Mexican border cities for the same reasons.

Dentistry in the US has become prohibitively expensive for some patients, with bills that can run to tens of thousands of dollars.

US dental treatment costs up to four times as much as in Mexico, making it tough for uninsured Americans to treat common problems such as abscessed teeth or pay for dentures.”*
