๐จ He flew to Mexico to save money on dental work... here's what actually happened.
This patient walked across the border every day for his "dental vacation." ๐ฆทโ๏ธ
Full upper AND lower extractions โ back to back days.
No sedation. Just local anesthesia. Fully awake the entire time. ๐ณ
Then the bleeding wouldn't stop.
Emergency IV. Emergency nurses. A hotel room turned into a crisis.
All to save a few thousand dollars. ๐ธ
Here's the truth nobody tells you about dental tourism:
โ
Cheap doesn't mean safe
โ
No emergency protocols if something goes wrong
โ
Sedation options are often skipped entirely
โ
You're trusting your airway, your bleeding, your recovery โ to a system with zero follow-up
Major dental work should feel safe, sedated, and supported. Not like a gamble in a foreign ER. ๐ฅ
If you're even considering going out of the country for major dental work, watch this first. ๐
Save this before you book that "vacation." ๐
