Do I understand correctly that Los Algodones Mexico is free of drug cartel problems because it's just a small town of 4000 people with a large number of dentists pharmacies and opticians any comment?

Well I do not think it can ever be completely free just as American cities will never be totally free of violence. It definitely is one of the safest areas. Its location is what helps it. It is sort of out in the middle of nowhere on the US side, only a Native American reservation borders it. There are not any major highways that go to it. Drug cartels just do not find it to be a convenient place to do their craft. I have been there at least 20 times over the past 5 years and I have never seen a problem. It is a small, quaint little town full of pharmacies and dentists. It even has an eye glasses place where you can get really cheap quality glasses and a veterinarian that can give good quality and cheap veterinary care to your dog. It is a pretty good place.

What experience do you need to become a dentist?

How do you find a good dentist in Nuevo Laredo Mexico?

Dental care abroad If you go abroad for dental care: -- Check with the appropriate government agency in the destination country about its national dentistry guidelines. -- Find out what recourse is available if something goes wrong. -- At the dental office, look for infection-control procedures, including instrument sterilization and use of protective gloves, mask and eyewear. -- A traveler's guide to dental care is available through the Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures at www.osap.org. Source: American Dental Association. Why is dental cheaper in Mexico? - lower operating costs, dentists are not required have malpractice insurance, dentists are less advanced and use less expensive technology and infection control procedures. Dental treatment performed abroad although less expensive, also carries an increased number of associated complications and risks. Travel, Dental Care and Dental Tourism There is a growing phenomena called "Dental Tourism" in which people travel to a destination that offers less expensive dental care. The decision to visit another country for dental care should go beyond simply comparing prices or even evaluating the dentists' expertise. Countries differ in their standards for infection control and safety. The use of fresh gloves, sterile instruments and safe water are not standard practice in all countries. Without these precautions, patients could be infected with diseases such as hepatitis B. Before considering such trips, it is important to be prepared by using information such as that contained in OSAP's Traveler's Guide. Additional information may be obtained at www.ada.org, www.iamat.org and www.adse.co.uk.

Why would someone have teeth growing out of their gums above other teeth in the front of their mouth?

Lack of space causes this. It happens a lot to children that their permanent teeth come before the milk tooth fall out. To be sure, ask the dentist if there is a problem. Most of the time this is no problem at all and the teeth will adjust in time. When this happens to adults, it is a sure sign the jaws are too small to support all teeth. Which could be a problem in case the teeth are so close together that it's hard to keep them clean enough.

Cracked back molar which your dentist says can be fixed by extraction safely without worry of tooth movement or looseness should you do this or have root canal therapy done and a crown with a post the?

It totally depends on you and how you feel about losing a tooth as well as the financial aspects. I do have to say though check around with people you know that have had root canals because many people that I know have always said don't ever get a root canal as they have caused them many problems. Do a little research for both and see which would suit you best.
