International Medicine

After all of the candy from the recent Halloween and Harvest events, Juliette complained of a sore tooth. Looking in her mouth, I didn't need a DDS to tell me...she had a huge cavity. With no dental insurance, I called around; shopping for the best price. Many offices will not even DO an amalgam filling. We were looking at $210 to $450 for a filling. Well I kept calling around and I got a referral. Baja Dentistry...that's right, this freak of a Mom actually took her daughter to Mexico for dental work. Let me tell you...the office was cleaner and higher tech than many offices I have seen in the US. The doctor was knowledgeable and very patient and kind in answering all of my questions. Juliette was at ease and said it didn't hurt a bit. She ended up needing a root canal and a crown, not just a filling. We were out the door for $250.00, and the price of a cab ride from the border and back. I would take my kids there anytime. The care and service were excellent. They didn't even mind all four of us cramming in the room and taking pictures. Juliette was the first to experience "international medicine". And we're not even in Ethiopia yet!
