Top Root Canal Dentists in Mexico’s Border Towns

2020-11-18 06:11:34 by 

If you are looking for affordable root canal dentists, Mexico’s border town clinics are the answer to the ever-rising costs in the US.

Heading south into Mexico for dental care is not just about saving money (although that is a given); the treatment can also save your tooth, which certainly is worth the trip.

When Do I Need a Root Canal?

The majority of people are usually told they need root canal treatment when they experience some sort of pain, swelling and possibly pus discharging from around the gum line. This is a sign of infection and could be deep within the tooth cavity because a tooth's nerve has become infected, which means it needs clearing out and filling.

Before any treatment can begin, a course of antibiotics is required to get rid of the infection; only then the dentist can open the tooth and remove the debris. 

Therefore, if you have visited a dentist at home who has confirmed you need a root canal, the first step would be to undergo a course of antibiotics; this two-week (or so) window gives you some time to find a suitable dentist in Mexico where you can receive the necessary root canal treatment for a more reasonable price.
