I Travelled To Los Algodones To Find Out!

I am in Los Algodones, Mexico. Otherwise known as “Molar City”because there are more than 250 dentists here with back to back offices throughout town.

Any storefronts that aren’t dental offices are optometrists, pharmacies or botox clinics.

One very high sign proclaimed “Stem Cell”.

Watch Out For The Sidewalks!

With all the money flowing into this town, you’d think the streets would be paved in gold fillings. However, walking down the insanely wacky sidewalks here could cripple you. I’m talking about sudden drop offs that are immediately followed by steep ascents. That said, there are good sections of sidewalks.

Los Algodones Has Hundreds Of Street Vendors

These sections are divided into impromptu street vendor stalls. The boundaries of each stall are marked on 3 sides by colourful mexican blankets, But these boundaries don’t keep vendors in their stalls, as you navigate through the maze of striped and patterned blankets. They sit waiting to pounce, trading their trinkets for US dollars with dental tourists. As I make my way a vendor yells emphatically “I give you best deal, please take look”! When I answer “No gracias” it seems to encourage him, and he follows me until another vendor takes over trying to win my pesos.

Dental Work in Mexico Can Save You A lot Of Money

Faced with horrendous dental bills at home, I decided to try a much touted Los Algodones dentist to get the urgent work I needed done. The trip, including dental work, accommodations and transportation would be less than half of my dental bill at home, so it seemed well worth the trip.

Is It Worth It?

But is it worth traveling from Canada to Los Algodones fordental work? I decided to vlog my experience from start to finish so you could decide for yourself. Here’s the first of a 6 part series of video vlog updates I did. #dentalcare#dentist#travel#dentalclinic#dentaltourism#LosAlgodones#molarcity#mexico#FrugalLiving#rvlifestyle
