Cleaning? Fillings?

I wanted to hit the volcano on my way out but the rain took over that day, and visibility would not have been favorable. All I can say about the dentist down there is that they are professional, very attention detail orientated, very caring and they make you feel like you are in good care. The price is a fraction of what you pay for here in the states. I am not telling everyone to do down there and do what I do. I find that you must be able to get by in Spanish to discuss your issues with the dentist. Their English is not there at least not the dentist I see. You still have to get a room for a few days depending on work you need done, (which is still cheaper than getting your teeth done in the U.S. even with out of pocket and with insurance.) My thinking is that I'd rather spend time in El Salvador on a vacation, stay in a fancy hotel, give the wife the spa treatment at VIDALS go see volcano's, and in the end, still come out ahead than giving the money to the dentist here in the US so he can drive his corvett and visit El Salvador.
But here is the main thing. I trust my dentist in El Salvador more than I would any dentist in my area. They take me in right away, no appointment needed, always glad to take me in, with extreme attention to detail and caring. Total professionalism and politeness. Their schools of dentistry in El Salvador is NO JOKE.

I was checking out information about dentistry cost around the world, and guess who has the highest cost than all? The USA of course. What does this tell you? Do you really think that the U.S. does the best dental work than the rest of the world? Do you really think our dentist in the U.S. are the best?
