    Rethorical question: Where in the world your insurance doesn’t cover this?

    And: Buying a house … I don’t know what to say about this. Who would do such a thing?

      In America, dental and health insurance are separate. And many jobs that provide health insurance can often not provide dental insurance. There is a reason teeth are referred to as the “luxury bones”.

      It is not uncommon for people to travel from California or Las Vegas to Mexico for dental work because the expense is so high, sometimes even with insurance.

              I had a cavity filled for 20 bucks in Mexico. Granted it was in zacatecas which is central Mexico but the dentist was reputable. He got his license in new York and also practices in new York. He’s from that small town so he travels there a couple months a year and offers very cheap dental work for locals since he’s from there and wants to give back to the community that helped him. Def check out tj or rosarito if you can though.
